Fund for Greene County

Areas of Focus

The Fund for Greene County was established in 1993 by a group of local donors who wanted to make a lasting commitment to the people of Greene County by developing a resource to achieve community goals and promote Greene County.

Past supported projects addressed food insecurity and hunger-related issues in Greene County. These included projects which involve one or more of the following activities:

• Growing/gardening/harvesting/packaging/selling/serving locally sourced foods
• Programs that address specific populations such as children, teens, seniors, and/or other underserved individuals
• Farm to Table initiatives (home or restaurant tables, businesses such as nursing homes, schools, hospitals, or any other entity that grows, harvests, prepares, and/or serves food)
• Farmers markets
• School backpack meal programs
• Feeding programs (summer, weekend, alternate sites such as churches, senior centers)
• Meals delivered to homes

Special consideration was given to applications in which two or more organizations demonstrated their plan to address food insecurity or hunger-related issues in Greene County through partnership and collaboration.
