There is a total of $1.5 million in funding available. Projects can receive between $10,000 and $25,000.

Examples of projects include greenhouses and other agriculture and food-related initiatives, refrigeration and equipment to support food waste reduction and recovery, projects that improve accessibility and inclusion, or upgrades that reduce a building’s energy footprint.
