Summary
This grant opportunity supports public 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations across the United States, with a special focus on initiatives located within the New York City metropolitan area. It does not accept proposals from individuals, small businesses, or for‑profit entities; only eligible nonprofits may apply.
Funding is typically awarded in amounts ranging from about $10,000 up to $100,000, with most grants capped around $25,000 per organization. The total number of awards varies annually, but it is modest in scale, distributing dozens rather than hundreds of grants each funding cycle.
This initiative supports projects that address food insecurity around Thanksgiving designed to help underserved families access nourishing meals during the holiday period. Proposals must focus solely on food purchasing and distribution related to that timeframe, and must take place within those defined county areas.
Applicants are expected to demonstrate that this fund is not their sole revenue source, meaning projects should leverage additional financial support. Funding use restrictions are clear—only food‐related costs are eligible, and expenditures must fall within a narrow timeframe around the holiday.
Cycles open and close in late summer (e.g., early or mid‑August) with activities required to take place around Thanksgiving in late November. Decisions are typically announced shortly after the application window closes, allowing organizations to deliver meals in early December if needed.
This opportunity is best suited for nonprofit organizations aiming to support holiday meal distribution efforts. Organizations that meet the requirements, align with food access goals, and can demonstrate additional funding sources may benefit most from this opportunity.
