Food Funder Directory

Welcome to the CFF Food Funder Directory! This directory is an ongoing project of Community Food Funders. Currently in beta version, we are looking to build this directory to eventually include every philanthropic entity active in the food system in our region. If you would like to include your organization, please complete this simple electronic form. You also have the option to include your foundation in a private print-only edition that will not be made public online.

Not sure if your foundation qualifies? Remember that a “food system” is a far-reaching concept encompassing all aspects of food production, distribution, purchase, consumption, and disposal. You may not identify as a “food funder” initially, but the food system overlaps with many other sectors such as health, social justice, and the environment. Review our list of food system focus areas, and if you provide funding in any of these areas, then you belong in the directory!

Here is the directory sorted by focus area. You can also view it alphabetically or sorted by geographic area. And check out New Venture Advisors’ Good Food Funding Guide for more sources.
