The Ann B. Zekauskas Family Foundation offers charitable grants to verified U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations whose projects improve nutrition education, access to food, or careers in the culinary arts. Applications must be submitted by November 1, 2026 to be considered for 2027 awards. The public guidelines do not state an exact submission time or time zone.
Applicant eligibility
Eligible applicants are verified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations nationwide. Nonprofits with broader missions may qualify for a specifically aligned project; for example, an eligible nonprofit school may seek support for nutrition education or culinary career training. Proposals outside the three stated priorities are ineligible.
Individual award amounts and conditions
The foundation does not publish a per-applicant award minimum or maximum, total 2027 funding pool, fixed matching percentage, grant duration, or payment structure on its public grant-request page. Applicants should confirm any requirements and documentation in the controlling application and avoid assuming that unlisted conditions do not exist.
Applying
Review the official Request a Grant instructions and submit through the funder’s application process by November 1, 2026. The foundation advises that only grant finalists will be contacted; it cannot provide individualized eligibility guidance. Complete submission fields and any portal-specific requirements should be checked before final submission.
