With federal funding cuts bringing so much uncertainty for many nonprofits and organizations across the country, we're grateful for steadfast leaders like Marguerite Casey Foundation to help fill critical funding gaps. We want to thank the Foundation for awarding Fair Food Network a significant new grant to advance our mission and support our work with partners in Michigan and across the country, including farmers, food businesses, and communities.
"Across the US, nonprofit organizations are doing the daily work of keeping communities safe, fed, housed, and heard. That is why earlier this year, MCF’s board made the unanimous decision to use our endowment to commit five times what the foundation granted last year to ensure community organizations are prepared for the fight ahead. In a matter of weeks, we have granted $40 million to nonprofit organizations working to protect the freedom of the press, free speech, and the right to assemble.
