Food Equity Fund Grant
Closed for 2026
Please see our blog for additional details.
To prepare for the upcoming Participatory Budgeting: Urban Farming grant, the City will not run an open, competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Food Equity Fund (FEF) in 2026. Instead, next year’s cycle will renew contracts with selected partners and award funding to FEF alternates previously identified through a community review process. This approach ensures continuity for programs already serving community members while allowing time to design and launch the new Urban Farming grant process. We will provide regular updates and additional engagement opportunities as that process moves forward. The City anticipates returning to the RFP process for the 2027 Food Equity Fund cycle.
