When disaster strikes, waiting for help shouldn’t be part of the problem. Our rapid funding process is designed to get financial support into the hands of businesses facing one-time emergencies—fast.

Whether it's damage to your farm, unexpected supply chain disruptions, or other sudden challenges, we’re here to help you bounce back and continue making an impact.

Our funding decisions aren’t made in a vacuum—they're guided by a committee of trusted community members who understand your needs.

We prioritize businesses and projects that have been serving their communities for at least a year, ensuring that the funds go where they’re needed most. From farmers to herbalists and food entrepreneurs, we support those who keep our food systems thriving. Learn about the committee below.

We’re here for Black-owned businesses and projects in the food and farming sector across the Northeast. If you're based in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Jersey, New York, or Pennsylvania, and have an established business facing an emergency, you may be eligible for support.

However, please note that our fund does not cover regular operational or start-up expenses—we’re here to help in times of crisis.
