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.
