About Food Systems Grants for Nonprofits

The Agricultural Marketing Service funds promotional campaigns and market development initiatives that help nonprofits strengthen food supply chains and expand producer networks. This collection includes 5,929 active grants designed specifically for nonprofits working across food systems, with award sizes typically ranging from $228K to $900K. The majority of these opportunities follow competitive application processes, making strategic proposal development essential.

Most grants in this category support program implementation and capacity building, though research-focused initiatives are also well-represented. Since over one-third require cost-sharing contributions, nonprofits should carefully filter by support type to identify grants aligned with their funding model and organizational resources.
