This is headed in the right direction;
I’ll be interested to see what this actually looks like in practice.
Glad to have been a part of the process!

Thank you for developing this fund! Food Policy Councils are
doing impressive systems change work. They have deserved
more recognition and support for a long time.

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

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

I feel excited to have a chance to share our
story and vision for our community through
this grantmaking application process.

Motivated and hopeful.
Lots of work
ahead!

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

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

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