Minnesota Food Waste Grants Available
ST. PAUL (WJON News) - A new grant from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency focuses on wasted food prevention and food rescue efforts.
Officials say at least 2% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, and reducing wasted food represents an opportunity to help people and mitigate climate change at the same time.
Organizations that serve Minnesota communities (non-profit organizations, businesses, institutions, political subdivisions, state agencies, and tribal organizations) can submit their plan to expand or create a program that will reduce or prevent food waste by May 2nd.
Approximately $4.5 million in funding is available, with a minimum grant award of $75,000 and a maximum award of $1 million. Grantees will be required to provide a 25% match of the grant.
