Broad Eligibility

Eligible direct applicants are Vermont farm or food businesses, Vermont producer groups or associations, and qualifying supply-chain facilitators such as nonprofits, economic-development authorities, and food hubs. Eligible proposals must increase institutional market opportunity for at least one Vermont farm business and increase local food purchased and served by Vermont institutions, including schools, early childhood programs, nursing homes, hospitals, and healthcare providers.

Atlas Analysis

Atlas Opportunity Score 48/100. This is a verified open Vermont institutional-market grant with clear funding, eligibility, match requirements, and an October 26, 2026 deadline. Hospitals and healthcare providers are named as institutional markets, but they are not the primary direct applicant class. N9+ Fit Score 0/100 and QC Healthcare Fit 0/100 because the controlling purpose is local-food market development rather than clinical technology, remote physical examination, physician services, or care delivery. Publish and monitor, but do not manufacture applicant outreach or direct-vendor pursuit.
