Funding for Demonstration Programme of Community Food Initiatives
Healthy Food for All and safefood are establishing a sf_rgbDemonstration Programme on Community Food Initiatives and are looking for funding applications from eligible groups and organisations. As the programme has an all-island focus, a minimum of two projects will be selected from both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Between five and seven CFIs will be funded, receiving a maximum of €75,000 (£60,000) over a three year period.
Closing date for applications is 30thSeptember 2008.
The purpose of this funding is to establish a Demonstration Programme of Community Food Initiatives (CFIs) on the island of Ireland. CFIs are projects that improve the availability and accessibility of healthy food for low-income groups at a local level, using a community development approach. Each CFI will receive annual funding over a period of three years to set up, manage and sustain a project. Funding will be provided on an incremental basis over the three year period.
