The Foundation for New York's Strongest just launched the first-ever New York City Food Waste Microgrant Program, which will help small businesses take action to reduce their food waste.
The program will award selected businesses up $2,000 in grant funding, as well as connect businesses with technical advisory, goods, and services, worth up to $15,000, to implement solutions that reduce or recycle wasted food. Solutions could range from implementing a waste tracking and analytics platform, improving inventory management systems, increasing donation of edible food to those in need, redesigning kitchens to more easily separate organic waste, and more.
