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

Feeling grateful and hopeful, for new ways of approaching the complexity of
resourcing food systems work, that acknowledges what’s real and important.
Thanks for your great work on this; it sets a wonderful example.

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!!!
It’s so exciting to be a part of this,
and I’m grateful for your leadership.

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.

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.

Political action and lobbying are difficult skills and
activities to implement and hone, but
are increasingly important.

Thank you so such a thoughtful
and engaging process! We appreciate
this opportunity to learn and grow.

I love the governance structure proposed.
It provides a great place for sharing, collaboration, and learning.
Great work on this!!

Excited for the fund;
this is needed to move the work forward.
Thank you!
