Food Justice for Kids Prize

Newman's Own Foundation

We envision the United States as a country where all children can access nutritious, culturally relevant foods; learn about healthy foods and sustainable food systems; have opportunities to grow, gather, and cook food; and be nourished physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Unfortunately, this vision is far from reality. In the United States, 1 in 5 children (14.1 million) live in households where they do not have enough nutritious food to eat or know where their next meal may come from. At the same time, over half of U.S. children fall short on consumption of key food groups like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Food access and diet quality are critical for children to learn, grow, and thrive at schools and in communities. Children facing food insecurity are more likely to experience developmental delays, anxiety, depression, and other chronic health outcomes.

Indigenous communities face even greater challenges. The seizing of Indigenous lands in the United States over several centuries disrupted the communities’ knowledge and cultivation of culturally specific foods and food systems, contributing to higher rates of food insecurity and risks for chronic diseases among Native American youth, including obesity and Type 2 diabetes.

The Food Justice for Kids Prize aims to support projects working to grow the next generation of food citizens. This is the second call for the Food Justice for Kids Prize.

The Prize will award grants up to $100K each, over 2 years, to as many as 14 nonprofits, Tribes, schools, and school districts in the United States and its territories working to ensure all children can access, learn about, and engage with nutritious, culturally relevant food at school and in communities.
