The New England Food Vision Prize will support projects that build resilience, relationships, and capacity within New England’s educational institution food supply chain.
In response to the recent federal funding cuts and the related impacts to our regional food system, we have modified the structure and focus of this year’s Prize program.
The Prize will support new ideas and collaborations, while also safeguarding and supporting existing efforts. This year’s Prize aims to fortify recent progress and ensure that the region’s students, farmers, fishermen, and producers continue to benefit from farm to school and campus programs.
Modifications include:
- Two application periods with a four-week turnaround from submission deadline to decision
- Simplified application process
- Streamlined criteria used to review and recommend applications
- Existing projects and programs encouraged to apply
- Award requests can range from $25,000 – $100,000
- A minimum of $1.5 million available for 2025 Prizes
Competitive applications will clearly demonstrate how the project or program will maintain or increase the amount of regionally produced food served to K-12 and college and university students. Specific and near-term benefits to farmers, fishermen, and/or producers should be detailed in the application.
The 2025 Prize is more accessible, featuring a streamlined application process and faster award notifications.
Prize awards will range from $25,000-$100,000.
