Paramount Pursuits will assist you in completing your application for the Food Justice Fund Grassroots Grant!

The purpose of the Food Justice Fund (FJF) is to increase public investment in a just, equitable, and sustainable food system that supports our neighborhoods, local economy, and the environment. 

The FJF aims to support grassroots, creative efforts increasing opportunities to grow, learn about, and eat healthy, affordable, and culturally relevant foods. FJF applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Applicants must be a 501(c)3 non-profit or people represented by a fiscal sponsor.

• Have an annual budget of $500,000 or less.

• Project budgets must be between $2,000 and $75,000, and any additional funds needed for the project must be secured by the time of application.

• The project must serve residents of the City of Pittsburgh. Funding selections will prioritize projects serving City of Pittsburgh communities of higher need, with strong connections to the communities they serve.

The City of Pittsburgh has contracted Paramount Pursuits to provide technical assistance to people interested in applying to the Food Justice Fund.
