About Food and Nutrition Grants

Who's eligible: Most food and nutrition grants are open to 501(c)(3) nonprofits, state/local governments, tribal organizations, and educational institutions. Some are also open to for-profit small businesses (especially SBIR/STTR grants).
Typical timeline: Grants post with a 30-60 day application window. Most require a Letter of Intent (LOI) 2-4 weeks before the full application deadline. Starting early is critical — this is why alerts matter.
