Ideal Applicant
A California-based nonprofit working on food distribution, mobile farmers markets, produce-prescription/nutrition programs, or community food systems with demonstrated local impact and measurable program outcomes.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in California or serves California communities.
- • Work focuses on food distribution, mobile markets, nutrition education, or technical assistance for local food systems.
- • Track record of program delivery and measurable outcomes for community food access.
- • Ability to show partnership or collaboration with regional food networks or county programs.
Geography
All observed grants across the available years went to organizations in California, indicating a state-focused giving footprint.
Recipient Variety
The funder supported 8–9 distinct recipients in 2022–2023 but had only four recipients in 2024; recipients appear to be independent local nonprofits rather than affiliated entities.
New Applicants
There is behavioral evidence of new recipients entering the portfolio (new grantees observed in 2023 and 2024), but no public application process was found, so direct openness to unfamiliar applicants cannot be fully confirmed.
