Funding

The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) frequently gets requests for food diversion funding opportunities. Although there are currently no discretionary funds available specifically for food waste diversion from CalRecycle, we will post available federal, state or regional loans, grants, or contracts as they become available, so please check back periodically.

The list is provided only as a resource to encourage food scrap diversion and should not be considered a complete list of available grant monies. CalRecycle does not sponsor or endorse any of these organizations. Before requesting applications for any grant, please read funding and grant selection criteria.
