Second Harvest Foodbank now has a $150,000 Equipment Capacity Building Grant available to our Partner Agencies. The goal of the grant is to provide investment in the equipment and infrastructure needs of our partner agencies to help expand their capacity for storage, distribution, and other eligible DATCP expenses related to their work to end hunger in Wisconsin. These funds are from the DATCP 2022 Food Security Initiative funds that Second Harvest received through Feeding Wisconsin. This funding opportunity is one of the ways that Second Harvest is committed to our mission of ending hunger and advancing toward our strategic goals of food equity and nutrition security.
The total grant funds available is $150,000. The minimum award for this grant is $2,500 with a maximum of $15,000.
Funds will be available in mid-July 2022. Funds must be spent, corresponding paid invoices, and canceled checks submitted to Second Harvest by November 7, 2022. This is a one-time funding distribution. Award amounts vary according to the strength of the application focusing on how it will expand capacity, the related actions that will result in increased nutrition security, and the intended impact on their program’s effectiveness in their work to end hunger in Wisconsin. An application for funding doesn’t guarantee an award.
The deadline to apply for the grant is June 20, 2022. At that time, the process for reviewing applications by the Grant Selection Committee will begin. Any grant applications submitted after the deadline will not be considered. Announcements for grant applications receiving Funding will occur on Wednesday, July 13, 2022. If your grant application is selected for funding, you will receive the funds from Second Harvest via a check sent through the USPS, with which to make your purchase/repair.
