Restrictions
The foundation makes grants to support initiatives that address hunger and food insecurity through direct service programs and/or advocacy efforts. Grants are made to organizations that are tax exempt under the irs code 501(C)(3) as public charities under irs code 509(A). The foundation provides both program/project and general operating support. Ideal candidates for general operating grants are organizations which focus on food access and/or food distribution as their primary mission (i.e. A food pantry; an organization that distributes meals; or a food growing or gleaning organization). Nonprofits with a mission that does not focus on food but that operate specific programming around food, such as a senior center that operates a congregate meal program, should submit a request for program or project support. (continued on statement 16) the foundation's focus is the five-county philadelphia region and Indian river county, fl.
