Good Food Access Program Technical Assistance Grant
The Good Food Access Program (GFAP) increases the availability of and access to affordable, nutritious, and culturally appropriate food, including fresh fruits and vegetables, for underserved communities in low- and moderate-income areas.
GFAP Technical Assistance Grants are intended to assist technical assistance providers in working with new or existing for-profit, not-for-profit, and cooperative self-service retail food establishments with needs-based assistance.
Grocers and small food retailers receiving technical assistance under this grant must be located in underserved communities or must serve primarily underserved communities in low-income and moderate-income areas. A list of eligible areas is available on the Good Food Access Program Eligible Areas page.
Funding
We expect to award approximately $100,000 through the GFAP Technical Assistance Grant. Up to 75% of the total project cost may be covered by the grant. The maximum grant award is $50,000; minimum grant award is $5,000. Eligible expenses include costs associated with providing appropriate technical assistance to eligible recipients.
In addition, technical assistance providers may request up to 5% or $2,500, whichever is less, of the total project costs to be used to increase institutional knowledge that is directly related to the assistance that will be provided to technical assistance recipients.
