Grubhub’s philanthropic arm, The Grubhub Community Fund, shared Wednesday a program to provide up to $1 million in microgrants to local Chicago nonprofit organizations. The Fund is accepting applications until November 13.
The Full Plate Program seeks to address food insecurity, experienced by roughly 20 percent of households in the area, according to Grubhub. It will support nonprofit organizations who provide food and meal services as a core part of their mission with up to $10,000 each in grant support.
The program will be administered in partnership with Greater Chicago Food Depository and Nourishing Hope.
“Grubhub is committed to supporting local, community-centered programs that provide access to nutritious foods and beverages to individuals and families in need, and we are grateful to Greater Chicago Food Depository and Nourishing Hope for helping make this possible,” shared Grubhub on its website.
Applications will be evaluated on need, impact, and demonstration of fiscal responsibility. Organizations approved for funding will be announced this December.
