Grants

Need help to feed more children?

We support local programs tailored to individual communities focused on low-income neighborhoods across Minnesota.

There are opportunities to partner with us through grants in these three areas:

• Child Care Center Meals

Those eligible to participate in CACFP include, public or private nonprofit child care centers, Head Start programs, care centers that operate outside-school-hours, and organizations that are licensed or approved to provide day care services.

• After-School Meals

Our grants can fund start-up costs, training, serving and point-of-sale equipment purchases at sites that provide a learning curriculum.

• Summer Meals

Grants will be evaluated based on:

• Approved SFSP sponsor

• Organization seeking approval to become SFSP sponsor

• Site located in area eligible location

• Number of children to be served

• Number of meals served per day

• Number of days of operation

• Ability to pilot new strategies to increase summer meal program participation

• Child Nutrition Index Data (provided by Hunger Impact Partners)
