Farm to Cafeteria Canada is introducing a new grant opportunity!

Accepting applications until March 28, 2025, the Indigenous Foodways in Schools Grants will provide funding for Indigenous school communities throughout Canada to support their long-term community visions of Indigenous food security and food sovereignty to be implemented in the school setting.

These grants aim to enhance the ability of school communities to have the infrastructure, equipment, knowledge, and connections needed to teach about and integrate Indigenous foods, foodways, worldviews, and approaches into daily practices at school. This includes an emphasis on relationships, reciprocity, and connections to the land.

Any school or community organization around the country can apply for a grant of between $500-20,000 as long as they show a clear connection to one or more schools in the community, and commit to using the funds to support Indigenous food security and food sovereignty in the school setting.

For more information and to apply, check out F2CC’s Welcome Video and visit the Indigenous Foodways in Schools Grants page.
