FY25 Network Investment Grants:
Fueling Access, Building Capacity Grant Program

Welcome to our Network Investment Grant Center for the latest information on funding to support our network partners.

CFBNJ Network Investment Grant Overview

The Fueling Access, Building Capacity Grant Program, made possible through funding from the New Jersey Department of Agriculture/Office of the Food Security Advocate, is designed to support impactful investments that enhance food distribution, strengthen network capacity, and expand services to empower neighbors and improve food security with equity and dignity.
