The Conagra Brands Foundation has announced the 2024 recipients of the ‘Nourish Our Community’ grants, awarding one-year grants to 20 nonprofits across 10 States, totaling $350,000 in funding. In support of Hunger Action Month, a time when people come together nation-wide to raise awareness and take action on the issue of food insecurity, its involvement through these grants will help to create positive social impact in the communities where its employees live and work.
For over three decades, the programme has empowered and encouraged employees to take a role in the grant-making process, nominating nonprofit organizations that address the issues of food insecurity, cooking skills, nutrition education, healthy and active lifestyles and/or urban agriculture. Each grant application is thoughtfully reviewed by a committee of cross-functional employees who analyze, discuss, and select the final recipients.
Robert Rizzo, senior director, Conagra Brands Foundation, said, "Every September, the Nourish Our Community grant programme gives our employees the power to make a difference locally, providing relief to their neighbors who may be facing food insecurity. Through this programme, we not only raise awareness on this issue, but simultaneously provide financial support to organizations that can make a direct, meaningful impact in our communities."
