FAQs

What can the Food Grant be used for?

The Teach Nutrition Food Grant helps purchase food needed to facilitate Teach Nutrition learning activities that encourage food exploration, food skill development, and positive experiences with food. While students may eat the food they prepare or explore as part of these activities, the grant is intended to support hands-on learning using food and is not intended to serve as a nourishment or meal program.

 

How much funding is available?

Each Teach Nutrition Food Grant provides $150 toward eligible food purchases.

 

How many grants can I receive?

Eligible teachers may receive one grant per school year.

 

What happens after I apply?

Applications are reviewed within 30 days of submission. If selected, you will be contacted via email by our team with next steps.

 

Are grants guaranteed?

No. All applications are subject to grant availability at the time of application.
