Healthy Food for All and safefood are establishing a Demonstration Programme on Community Food Initiatives and are looking for funding applications from eligible groups and organisations.

healthy foodThe purpose of this funding is to establish a Demonstration Programme of Community Food Initiatives (CFIs) on the island of Ireland.

CFIs are projects that improve the availability and accessibility of healthy food for low-income groups at a local level, using a community development approach.

Between five and seven CFIs will be funded over a three year period. Each CFI will receive annual funding over a period of three years to set up, manage and sustain a project. Funding will be up to a maximum of €75,000 (£60,000) provided on an incremental basis over the three year period.

As the programme has an all-island focus, a minimum of two projects will be selected from both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Closing date for applications is 30 September 2008.
