Grant Finance Manager
Who We Are:
FoodCorps is a fast-scaling $10M nonprofit powered by a nationwide team of leaders who connect kids to real food and help them grow up healthy. Through our partnership with AmeriCorps, we recruit, train and place emerging leaders in limited-resource schools for a year of service delivering our three-ingredient recipe for healthy kids. Serving under the direction of a community partner, our corps members work to put three drivers of health in place across the physical, cultural and educational environments of the schools we serve:
1. Knowledge: food and nutrition education that gives kids the information they need to make smart choices
2. Engagement: hands-on activities like gardening and cooking that foster skills and pride around healthy food
3. Access: lunch trays filled with nutritious meals from local farms
Our Mission: Together with communities, FoodCorps serves to connect kids to healthy food in school.
Our Vision: We are creating a future in which all our nation’s children––regardless of class, race, or geography––know what healthy food is, care where it comes from, and eat it every day. Through our work, future generations will grow up to lead healthier and more productive lives.
