Newark Fresh, Healthy Food Access Grant

Newark-led organizations with fresh, healthy food access and community health projects are invited to apply for funding between $5,000 and $20,000. Then, we review applications with the help of the Newark Community Advisory Council, a rotating panel of Newark leaders. (The council’s community members have each lived and/or worked in Newark for at least two decades.) Grantees are determined by the sustainability of their projects and their alignment with our mission. We prioritize food access work by locally-driven nonprofits that reflect and engage the Newark community. Our grant partners have included community gardens, urban farms, farmers’ markets, mobile markets, healthy cooking classes, agriculture skills development programs, and other initiatives advancing healthy food access.
