4 Anti-Hunger-Related Funding Opps

From the Sodexho Foundation:
25 Sodexo Youth Grants of $500 each to support youth-led service projects in the United States that address the issue of childhood hunger during National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week (November 13-20, 2011). We’re looking for projects that engage your peers, friends, families, neighbors, Sodexo employees, and other community members in creative, youth-inspired solutions to ending childhood hunger in your community.

Deadline September 16.

From the Whole Kids Foundation:
To be eligible for a garden grant, applicants must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization or nonprofit K-12 school that is developing or currently maintaining a school garden project that will help children engage with fresh fruits and vegetables. Garden projects may be at any stage of development; planning, construction or operation. For cases in which an applicant facilitates garden projects in more than one school, multiple garden grants may be requested under a single application. In occasional cases, additional funds may be awarded for special projects.

Deadline December 31.

From Action for Healthy Kids, Share Your Breakfast!
The awards will range from $750-$1,000, with significant in-kind contributions from Action for Healthy Kids in the form of people, programs, and policy expertise. We’ll also provide schools with management, expertise and support to develop alternative breakfast programs or start universal breakfast programs.

Deadline September 30 with an informational webinar on September 21.

AARP Foundation is seeking to fund the development or scaling of innovative, sustainable solutions to hunger that incorporate collaboration and community development and have the potential for making a significant impact on community food security and sustainable food systems for those 50 and older.
