Funding For Food: Grants & Fundraising for Nonprofits Tackling Food Insecurity
Food insecurity remains one of the most urgent and heartbreaking challenges facing communities across the United States and Canada — and the nonprofits on the frontlines deserve funding to match their impact. Funding For Food is a targeted grant writing and fundraising support initiative by Impact Funding Solutions, created specifically for food banks, food pantries, and hunger-relief organizations. Led by our founder Sarah Clarke, who brings over 11 years of experience working with food banks — including volunteering weekly for client intake at her local food bank — this campaign is grounded in real-world insight and fueled by compassion. We’re here to help you unlock new funding channels, apply for relevant grants, and build a sustainable strategy that allows you meet the growing needs of your organization.
We understand the unique challenges you face in supporting vulnerable communities, and we’re here to partner with you to ensure your organization can continue delivering vital services while staying fiscally responsible, sustainable, and positioned for long-term impact.
GRANTS FOR FOOD BANKS
At Impact Funding Solutions, our annual grant strategy is designed to maximize funding potential by creating a clear, organized roadmap of opportunities tailored to each client. We begin by identifying the most relevant grants based on your mission, location, programs, and funding priorities — with a strong emphasis on general operating support and sustainability. From there, we build a 12-month grant calendar that outlines when to apply, what to apply for, and how to position your organization for success. Our strategy ensures consistent application flow (typically 4–6 grants per month), strong alignment with funder priorities, and a proactive approach to long-term funding — not last-minute scrambling. This method allows your team to stay focused on impact while we manage the research, planning, writing, and submission process.
RESULTS
By consistently applying to approximately 60 carefully selected grants throughout the year—and with current industry approval rates averaging around 20%—our goal is to help your organization secure an estimated $100,000 to $200,000 or more in additional funding annually.
**note that we are seeing higher than 20% approvals for food and hunger related grant applications currently**
