Subject: 1999 USDA Community Food Projects Competitive Grants Program
A notice for the 1999 Community Food Projects
Competitive Grants was in the Federal Register on Tuesday,
April 20th. Community Food Projects are projects designed
to increase food security in communities by bringing the
whole food system together to assess strengths, establish
linkages, and create systems that improve the self-reliance
of community members over their food needs. Grantees
under the program are statutorily limited to private,
nonprofit entities. Yet, because proposals for Community Food
Projects must promote comprehensive responses to local
food, farm, and nutrition issues, applicants are encouraged
to seek and create partnerships with public, private nonprofit,
and private for-profit entities. Applications are due June 4th.

descriptions of previously funded projects and the request
for proposal.
