More microgrants to support small, grassroots efforts increasing healthy food access
March 13, 2024
The Blueprint’s Workgroup #2/3: Healthy Food Access in Communities launched a new microgrant program in 2023, awarding $30,000 to community members and grassroots organizations during its first round of funding. With support from the Colorado Community Health Alliance, they’re now pledging a total of $24,000 to support more small projects that aim to increase access to nutritious, affordable food in local communities.
This second round of funding will prioritize initiatives spearheaded by community members residing in select counties, with a particular focus on efforts led by people of color and with budgets under $50,000. The counties include Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, El Paso, Gilpin, Jefferson, Park, and Teller. Organizations and individuals can apply for $3,000 in funding.
The application opens on Friday, March 15. Find out more about this microgrant opportunity.
