The Innovation Hub seeks applicants who have ideas to strengthen our local school food system and want to join collaborative teams to bring those ideas to life.  </span> </div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 14px;">“We’re looking forward to seeing the Innovation Hub bring people across Michigan together — from farmers and food suppliers to community-based program leaders to school food service directors and 10 Cents a Meal grantees — to help children's school meal be more local, culturally, relevant, nutritious, and loved,” said Megan McManus, Farm to Institution Specialist, Michigan State University Center for Regional Food Systems, a state lead for the Innovation Hub. “These grants can help address historical inequities in our school food system by providing opportunities to better serve our communities’ unique needs.”  </span></div> <div><br></div> <div> <span style="font-size: 14px;">Grants from $10,000 to $250,000 are available to teams that may include farmers, food suppliers, food service directors, community-based program leaders and more. The Innovation Hub will invest in community-driven ideas of all sizes and scopes — from hyper-local projects to multistate collaborations — as long as projects direct more resources to students, schools and local economies. The Innovation Hub will prioritize investments in communities that have experienced racism and discrimination and/or communities that have been underserved. This includes Black or African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Hispanic or Latine, Asian or Pacific Islander, or other people of color; people who live in rural areas; and people with limited incomes.

We look forward to strengthening old relationships and building new ones as funding becomes available to address racism, discrimination and historically underserved communities.”  </span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 14px;">“IPHI is thrilled to have the opportunity to work with partners in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin to fund innovative school meal projects across the region,” said Elissa Bassler, CEO of the IPHI. “Communities are the best designers of innovative projects that will help students get the nourishing meals they need to thrive. We can’t wait to see — and support — innovations that will transform the school food system and address historical inequities in ways that better serve Midwest communities.”  </span></div> <div><br></div> <div> <span style="font-size: 14px;">The Innovation Hub is hosting a kick-off introductory webinar to provide interested participants with an overview of the grant opportunity and website, and it will get applicants connected to grant application support.

By working together, we’re building pathways for local, nutritious and culturally relevant food to reach more schools across Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana — especially in areas that don’t have equitable access to resources. We offer funding, training and other help to collectives of schools, school districts, organizations, farmers, producers, suppliers and distributors who are transforming our school food system to better serve our communities. We are funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and convened by the Illinois Public Health Institute. Organizations leading the initiative include Seven Generations Ahead (Illinois), Michigan State University’s Center for Regional Food Systems (Michigan), NWI Food Council (Indiana), Kids Forward (Wisconsin), healthTIDE (Wisconsin), National Farm to School Network, Chicago Food Policy Action Council and Action for Healthy Kids.<a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0016CvbjtpBMn-RWTEZj1_5fe6NJ_-IPOAzc4axdiJBt6RxATClORoKZX8_js2ylfaUlAv-YYcwT5g0xLXIQn1dZvcw97XmV5vVxalUuq0nX5qBzmMgtRc0zO96f-JmpgBDIb4HFPboq4VpxZtpsYpcUg==&c=wgca749c2t2BKtJkiol1VwEzRDMz3krx91dhNfWa1Ab6AY1DsCEakA==&ch=Jhl6qbsizzpyt0RaooK2v-AAkh9jAW0oKE9V1aDRKTgvtFofSQiGbQ==" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: #0A6F3A; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: underline;"> InnovateSchoolFood.org</a>  </div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-weight: bold;">About Michigan State University Center for Regional Food Systems</span></div> <div><br></div> <div>The Michigan State University Center for Regional Food Systems (CRFS) unites the knowledge of diverse food systems stakeholders with that of MSU faculty and staff to advance regionally-rooted food systems through applied research, education, and outreach.
