The Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative is a statewide public-private financing program administered by The Food Trust with funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development that helps business owners open or expand healthy grocery outlets in low- to moderate-income communities throughout the Commonwealth.

The program provides one-time grants and loans to nonprofit, for-profit, and cooperative food businesses that help increase access to healthy, affordable food and improve economic opportunities for residents of urban, suburban, and rural areas of Pennsylvania. Most projects can qualify for up to $50,000 in grant funding, and high-impact projects can qualify for up to $150,000.

Applications are due Friday, October 13, 2023.
