Washington State Farmers Market Association -- Local Farms/Healthy Kids Grants
Washington State Farmers Markets Association (WSFMA) is offering mini-grants to Washington farmers markets that intend to increase access for food stamp and debit/credit customers in their markets. These mini-grants are available through the State Legislature’s recently passed “Local Farms/Healthy Kids” initiative and offer a number of essential program materials and tools for eligible farmers markets including: credit/debit/food stamp technology, token or paper voucher purchases, marketing and outreach materials (banners, signs, customized flyers, etc.), several hours of outreach support, technical assistance and training to maximize use of this expanded sales technology.
Grants are for $1,500 per market. Markets applying to participate in this project do not need to belong to WSFMA.
Deadline: February 15, 2009
Please Note: The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools (CHHCS) does not administer this funding opportunity.
