Food Project Grants
|
|
|
|
Deadline: 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.
Proposed PI grant projects need to demonstrate engagement with and impact on Dane County residents who live outside the City of Madison
(projects may also serve City of Madison residents).
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.

Visit the Dane County Civil Rights Dept for the application:
|
|
|
|
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.
