Today, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) launched a request for applications at grants.endingwastedfood.org to prevent household wasted food. This effort is a part of the National Household Wasted Food Prevention Project (NHWFPP). Eligible applicants include nonprofits, tribal and local governments, U.S. territories and states, and higher education institutions.
The NHWFPP will develop, launch, and implement a coordinated, nationwide effort to reduce wasted food in households by 10% per capita nationally and by 20% per capita in communities supported through grants by 2030. To this end, two grant opportunities are now available:
- Innovator Grants ($75K–$300K): Support focused creative, locally tailored strategies to motivate target audiences to prevent wasted food.
- Catalyst Grants ($300K–$750K): Support larger-scale projects to implement household wasted food prevention strategies across a variety of communities.
WWF will award around 15 or more grants focused on wasted food prevention — helping households buy, store, prepare, and use food in ways that prevent food from being thrown in the trash.
This initiative will target parents of children under 18, and young adults ages 18 to 35.
Applications are due September 1. To learn more:
