2025 Grant – Emergency Food Insecurity

Due to cuts in many government programs and the shortfalls expected this Summer with feeding kids in need, the board has allocated $20,000 in emergency grant money to help support organizations that feed kids. Funding requests MUST address food insecurity for children 18 and under within the greater Manchester area. Applicants must not have received funding from Kiwanis for the same program within the past 12 months; organizations may apply for funding for a DIFFERENT program within their organization. If this is the case, organizations should explain how this request is different from the request that was funded within the past year.

Our 2025 Food Insecurity Grant period is now closed; a list of our past grant recipients can be found here.
