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.

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

I love that you’re
doing this work –
thank you!

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

Thanks for getting
input before a
Request for Proposals

I love this approach and the intentional way criteria
have been generated and evaluated!
Excited to see what comes of it in the new year.

I am thrilled to see greater funding for
food policy councils. Thank you for all
your hard work to this point!

It is so wonderful that you are looking at ways
to increase impact and meet needs
for food policy councils!

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.

This emergent pool of funds is great to see. Still, see a big gap after the fund launches.
Would be great for support to also directly connect and build capacity across
FPCs beyond support for individual FPCs.
