New! Latest Grants for Nutrition and Food Security
No matter what (other) issues may be faced by society at any given moment, food security and nutrition are often among those at the forefront. Whether it’s eligible low-income students in schools maintaining access to free or reduced-cost meals, families suffering as a result of income and employment concerns, or famine affecting multiple nations or even entire continents, improving nutrition and food security is a never-ending task.
To help with this, GrantWatch has put together a list of the top nutrition grants for nonprofits and organizations.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that more than 34 million people suffer from food insecurity, including 9 million children. Food banks, soup kitchens and other food assistance organizations have been stepping up to help address this issue in any way they can. However, additional work is still necessary for this area.
