Nourish the City Year 2 mini-grants
The City of Norfolk Office of Resilience offers new Year 2 Nourish the City mini-grants for community-led food-security projects serving Norfolk, Virginia. This applicant-facing program supports community gardens, cooperatives, farmers markets, food pantries and related projects expanding affordable access to nutritious food in underserved neighborhoods. Year 1 is closed; this is the separate active Year 2 application window.
Funding
The official Euna Grants Year 2 application lists $80,000 in overall competition funding and individual awards up to $10,000. Official funder sources currently disagree on the minimum: the City of Norfolk program announcement says $2,500, while the Year 2 Euna application shows $1,000. Applicants should ask the city to confirm the controlling individual minimum. Cash matching contributions are recommended by the application portal, not described as mandatory.
Eligibility and restrictions
Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations located in Norfolk and qualifying legally organized nonprofit Norfolk civic leagues or neighborhood associations. A nonprofit based in an adjacent city may be considered if it serves Norfolk, particularly in partnership with an eligible Norfolk organization. Businesses may partner on a project but cannot be the direct applicant without the eligible nonprofit lead. Applicants must demonstrate legal status, a credible implementation and community-engagement plan, and an itemized project budget. Awardees must register as City vendors, provide W-9 information and deliver required interim and final reports.
Deadline and application
Applications for Year 2 close Friday, November 6, 2026. The official city announcement does not give an exact closing hour or time zone; applicants should check the Euna Grants portal and submit early. Apply through the Year 2 Euna Grants application linked on the City of Norfolk Nourish the City page. An application FAQ is linked through Euna but is not accessible from the public listing used for this summary; complete submission and eligible-cost details should be confirmed against that controlling FAQ and instructions.
