We’re inviting food councils to be funders! We will pay your food council to be the funder. 

With this year’s micro-grants, we want to deepen relationships across food councils and build your voice in decision-making within this network. To do that, we’re experimenting with an alternative, participatory grantmaking process, called Shared Gifting.

Each existing food council that is currently a part of our NC Food Council Network is invited to join a regional Shared Gifting Circle with other food councils.  Each participating food council in the Gifting Circle will receive funds for your participation and receive funds to gift to other food councils.  You make the decisions on who and how much to gift to the other Circle participants in that region. 

Please join us!  Learn more at one of these two overview Shared Gifting Webinars that will explain the process and what to expect.
