The 2023 Vendor Impact Grant, sponsored by Bank of America, application is now closed.
As part of Visit Sacramento’s diversity, equity, and inclusion Neighborhood Farm-to-Fork program, this grant was established specifically for food and agricultural businesses that are minority-owned, ethnically diverse- and/or LGBTQ-owned. It’s designed to provide more opportunity for participation from businesses or individuals who have been historically underrepresented at Sacramento’s annual Farm-to-Fork Festival and to provide a more inclusive experience for all festivalgoers.
The Vendor Impact Grant will be awarded to ten (10) food and/or agricultural-based small businesses and organizations. Your business must be majority-owned by anyone who identifies as minority/person(s) of color and/or LGBTQ; has not previously participated as a Farm-to-Fork Festival vendor; is not a previous recipient of the grant; and demonstrates a financial need.
The grant funds participation in the annual Farm-to-Fork Street Festival, which takes place Saturday, September 23rd, 11 am – 9 pm. If you are a recipient of a grant, you are required to participate the entire day during the festival and agree to abide by the Farm-to-Fork Guidelines.
Alcohol and coffee businesses are not eligible due to sponsorship limitations.
