Project for Public Spaces, Inc. (PPS) is pleased to release our second
Request for Proposals (RFP) to support individual farmers markets as
part of our "Diversifying Public Markets and Farmers Markets" program.
This round, we will be awarding approximately $400,000 in funding from
the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Grants resulting from this RFP will be
awarded in early 2007 and will be for one year.

 

The public markets grant program aims to strategically support markets,
especially in low- to moderate-income communities, to become more
economically sustainable and community-centered.
