The California Department of Food and Agriculture Office of Farm to Fork (CDFA-F2F) announces that the request for applications (RFA) is open for the Healthy Refrigeration Grant Program. Applications must be submitted via CDFA\u2019s new grant management system, AmpliFund, no later than 5 p.m. (PT), June 6, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of the Healthy Refrigeration Grant Program is to improve access to healthy foods in underserved communities while promoting California-grown agriculture by funding energy-efficient and climate-friendly refrigeration and freezer equipment in corner stores, small businesses, and food donation programs in low-income or low-food access areas throughout the state. The equipment is funded to stock California-grown fresh produce, nuts, eggs, meat, and dairy products, as well as minimally processed and culturally appropriate foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Healthy Refrigeration Grant Program is funded through the 2021 and 2022 state budgets. Up to $9 million in funding is available for equipment grants during the current RFA. This is a competitive process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eligible entities for this program include corner stores, small businesses, food donation programs, and nonprofits working with eligible sites and\/or selling or donating food in low-income or low-access areas. Cities, counties, nonprofits or Tribal governments may also apply for equipment on behalf of eligible sites and may apply for up to 20% of total grant awards to provide technical assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
