Farm to School and Early Childhood Vision Grant Accepting Applications

The Farm to School and Early Childhood Vision Grant expands farm to school and early childhood programming in Vermont by amplifying innovative work in individual school communities, strengthening farm to school support services, and reaching underserved school and early childhood communities. Strong proposals will improve child nutrition, enhance educational experiences, and connect youth with the land, local farms, and their local community.  

$275,000 is available to award and the min/max award range is $10,000 - $60,000. Schools, school districts, early childhood educators, afterschool programs, and non-profits working in partnership with other organizations in the Vermont Farm to School and Early Childhood Network are eligible to apply. 

Apply by Thursday, April 10 at 2:00PM.
