Explore ongoing local food grants

We are exploring the viability of setting up an ongoing grants program. We are looking at the 'Awesome Foundation' model with a focus on local, urban food system initiatives.

The Awesome Foundation is an international network of autonomous 'chapters' of philanthropists that provide small grant for projects to 'people devoted to forwarding the interest of awesomeness in the universe.'

In a nutshell, The Awesome Foundation model invites 10 Trustees to gift $100 each, a total of $1000 per grants. The trustees consider the applications and together decide on the the successful applicant each round. Each chapter is free to establish their own variations on this process. There are two chapters in South Australia; Adelaide and the Fleurieu. You can find out more here.

If this is something you would be interested in, or you can suggest another model please send us an email at hello@saurbanfood.org by Monday 13 February. 

We will arrange an information session to discuss the opportunity further in March.

Thank you for your time and considering the invitations to donate and/or explore an ongoing local food grants program.
