Thanks for getting

There is a definite need for unrestricted funding for food policy councils.
As staff at a food policy council, we often have to squeeze support
for our basic organizational functioning into other grants.

Thank you for
tackling this issue that is
essential for many of us.

Funding that is targeted towards supporting FPCs and is not
restricted to single projects or policies would allow FPCs
to identify and propel changes that respond to local needs.

I’m feeling appreciative
that y’all are trying new
ways of grantmaking

Funding and technical assistance along with best practices can
give FPCs the tools they need to make long-term, sustainable,
impactful changes in their communities.

I am really happy to see the emphasis on unrestricted funding and guiding principles. Great work!

Even a handful of savvy folks
can make a local impact with
small pots of funding.

I think this is a great plan that really shows understanding
of how FPCs work and the need for support,
financially and otherwise.

It’s been really helpful as a funder to learn about
new ways to review and select awardees with an
abundance mindset. Thanks for all your thoughtfulness.
