Grant Opportunities

Posted: Feb 2 2012
"...just released Request for Proposals (RFP). The New York City Department of Health (DOHMH) is seeking out organizations to support NYC Green Cart vendors in 2012 and beyond. From March- December, 2012, selected organizations will participate in trainings, host workshops on how to become a vendor and learn how best to provide support for these entrepreneurs. Each of the 10 chosen organizations will receive $7500 to support staff time committed to this project. The RFP can be found here: http://www.nyc.gov/html/fund/downloads/pdf/green_carts_rfp.pdf
Green Carts are mobile food carts that offer fresh produce in certain New York City areas- areas with limited access to fresh fruits and vegetables. In 2008, Mayor Bloomberg signed off on Local Law 9, which established 1,000 permits for Green Carts. Funding for this RFP is made possible through the generous funding of the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund. For more information on Green Carts, visit www.nyc.gov/greencarts. Please let me know if you have any questions. "
