Newark Fresh, Healthy Food Access Grant
Calling all Newark-led organizations with projects that help broaden access to fresh, healthy food and nutrition education: The Newark Fresh, Healthy Food Access Grant application window is now open through Monday, February 19, 2024, 11pm EST!
Launched in 2017, this annual, community-determined grant program has partnered with organizations across Newark that are growing the local food system and increasing access to fresh, healthy food. Whole Cities Foundation will offer grant funding between $5,000 and $20,000 to each selected organization, and there is no restriction on the amount of grant funds that can be used for overhead, ongoing expenses, or infrastructure such as purchasing land, salaries, and stipends. Whole Cities hopes to support projects in all five wards.

We Love Feedback
For the past 7 years, Whole Cities Foundation has been fortunate to work with organizations across Newark. As we planned for the next 3 years in the fall of 2022, we asked Newarkers how we could improve and what we should keep the same. See how we’ve incorporated this feedback into our work by checking out our list of things that we’re changing in our support.
