Farm to School

The 2026 New England Food Vision Prize will award up to $1.5 million to collaborative farm to school initiatives and local sourcing efforts across the region. Winning Prizes will increase student access to healthy, locally produced ingredients and build consistent and reliable demand from schools, colleges, and universities.

This year, we will shift our process back to one round of funding with letters of interest due on June 5. Following a review of the letters of interest, a subset of applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal and Prize awards will be announced in October. 

Prize requests can range from $25,000 – $100,000, and if awarded, funds must be fully spent within two years.
