FY24 Manna Farm to Food Bank Collaborative Funding Program
Manna Food Center (Manna) in partnership with the Montgomery County Office of Food Systems Resilience (OFSR), is soliciting proposals from farm partners interested in pursuing collaborative funding agreements through the Montgomery County Farm to Food Bank Program (F2FB). This opportunity is designed to support the continued engagement of local producers with the Montgomery County food system and in various food security initiatives. The collaborative funding agreements offered through this program will provide farm partners with up-front payments between $5,000 and $20,000 to be used by the partner for a variety of approved purposes. The allocated amounts are expected to be repaid in the form of locally grown or produced table crops or food donated to the F2FB program over up to 18 months from the agreement date. Farm partners are expected to provide products throughout the selected repayment period at 80% or more of the value of the collaborative funding payment, using the FY24 F2FB price list to determine product values.
