Partners in Community Food Project Grants
|
|
|
|
The Tamara D. Grigsby Dane County Civil Rights Department, in partnership with the Dane County Food Council, is pleased to
announce the annual
Partners in Community (PI Community) Food Project Grants
(formerly PIE Food Project Grants)
for Dane County organizations. The 2026 application period is open and the deadline to apply is
Friday,
February 27, 2026.
|
|
|
|
This grant program was created in 2018 to encourage the development of
projects that advance equity and access in local food systems across Dane County. In partnership with the City of Madison's SEED Grants (for food system projects based in Madison), this grant program extends food system funds throughout Dane
County. The geographic area that your project serves must include somewhere other than the City of Madison.
|
|
We are looking for projects that will provide the
greatest impact in strengthening our food system and cultivating community engagement and access.
Projects may request up to $4,000 in funding.
|
|
|
|
Proposals should enhance community voice in local food system development, and also address one or more of
the following Dane County Food Council
goals:
|
|
-
Increase access to healthy, local, culturally-relevant food
-
Strengthen regional agriculture and ease access to land for growing food
-
Decrease food waste and loss via recovery and redistribution of good quality rescued foods
|
|
|
|
If your project serves communities within the City of Madison, we encourage you to apply for a
City of Madison SEED Grant. SEED applicants may also apply for a PI Community Food Project grant. Funding can be received from both a SEED grant and a PI Community Food Project
grant, but not to exceed the total project budget needed.
