The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is pleased to announce funding for food pantries and other local emergency food assistance providers to increase the amount of wholesome food available to those in need.
Food pantries and other local emergency food assistance providers are on the front line when it comes to helping those in need. The Department is interested in increasing the donated food that food pantries have available (especially fresh fruits and vegetables) because it would help those who do not have access to enough food and it has an environmental benefit. If more wholesome food is brought to food pantries, less ends up in the waste stream and ultimately in landfills, where it generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
For the purposes of this grant program, the following entities are considered eligible applicants:
501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporations whose projects include providing wholesome food to those in need, either directly or indirectly. Food Banks are ineligible for this grant program since DEC already has a contract in place to fund activities at the Food Banks.
For this grant opportunity, a “Not-For-Profit Corporation” (NFP) is subject to New York State’s Not-For-Profit Corporation Law and is qualified for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Federal Internal Revenue Code, has an IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter to be incorporated in New York State and is current in their charities reporting requirements with the Office of the Attorney General.
Individuals and unincorporated groups are not eligible for this grant opportunity. However, an eligible applicant may apply on behalf of an individual or unincorporated group as a fiscal sponsor. The fiscal sponsor accepts responsibility of the grant, and serves as a fiscal conduit for a DEC-funded project, receiving and disbursing funds related to the grant, and administering the requirements throughout the DEC grant process, including final reporting of grant activity.
This grant program is being issued in conjunction with a similar $1,200,000 program for municipalities. The total amount available for both programs is $2,000,000. If one program has excess funds after the funding time frame, those funds may be transferred to the other program.
The minimum award amount is $100. The maximum award amount is $15,000.
