The Phoenix Food Hub and Greater Lynn Senior Services are inviting community organizations to apply for funding that supports nutrition initiatives and the reduction of food insecurity in Lynn.

This funding will support community initiatives that:

• meet a specific and demonstrated need.
• serve populations that are typically harder to reach.
• strengthen collaboration across the PFH network.

Proposals are requested from organizations to provide services to Lynn residents of all ages for the Community Grant Program.

Funding is not available to individuals, although individuals (e.g., chefs) can partner with a 501(c)(3) organization to request support. Similarly, community entities that are not organized as non-profits can partner with a 501(c)(3) agency to deliver their programming. The Lynn Food Security Task Force can help to identify and promote these collaborations and partnerships.

Phoenix Food Hub plans to disburse up to $125,000 in this program year; there are no specific restrictions on the amount of applicant funding requests. We hope to support as many projects as possible and are interested in learning about your ideas and vision. Partial funding, as appropriate, may be awarded in support of larger efforts. We are also interested in supporting smaller scale efforts that meet identified needs but prefer that the minimal funding request be $2,500.

For full details and application materials, please visit www.phoenixfoodhub.org/For-Providers

If you have questions, please contact Andrew Wallace, Community Grants Administrator, by phone 781-599-0110 ext. 6702 or email awallace@glss.net.

The deadline to apply is 5 pm on Thursday, July 13, 2023.

Funding for the Community Grant Program is made possible by Mass General Brigham. 

Funding for the Phoenix Food Hub is provided by: Mass General Brigham; the City of Lynn; Element Care; Essex County Community Foundation; Point32Health Foundation; Beverly and Addison Gilbert Hospitals; Alfred E. Chase Charity Foundation, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee; Charles H. Farnsworth Trust, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee; and many private donors.
