WWFSP Project Accelerator Round Two Open Now

 The Western Washington Food Systems Partnership (WWFSP) just announced a second round of the Food Systems Projects Accelerator technical assistance program supporting Food Systems development projects in the Puget Sound. Pre-applications are available now for broad-reaching food systems infrastructure projects that advance equitable access and food security. 

The Food Systems Projects Accelerator services are customized to the needs of the awardees and have the potential to exponentially increase organizational capacity through access to technical support for project planning, grant-writing and implementation as well as access to administrative support. At this time the Accelerator program does not offer direct monetary assistance. Previous Accelerator awardees include FareStart: Developing value-added products from food recovery, Pierce Conservation District: Farm Incubator Program, and the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild: Lopez Food Center

To apply, submit a simple pre-application no later than 5 pm on Tuesday July 25th. You will be notified within three working days if you are invited to submit a full application. Full applications will be due by 5pm on Tuesday August 15th. The pre-application is available now at: WWFSP Project Accelerator. For additional questions regarding the application process please contact Emily Manke at  emily@agbizcenter.org, (360) 223-2008.
