Community organisations that deliver food relief may be interested in the Pop-up Food Relief Market grants, to help deliver healthy and culturally appropriate food to Victorians through farmer’s market style stalls.

Community organisations can apply for either:

  • A small project grant of up to $25,000, to provide a minimum of four markets over two months.
  • A large project grant of up to $85,000, for partnerships of organisations to provide a minimum of 10 markets over six months

These grants can be used by organisations to cover the costs associated with delivering food relief markets, such as buying culturally appropriate food.
