Grantable funding Position for continued grant-driven expansion by highlighting the recent $750K national grant and $195K grant as evidence of scale and impact, and offer tailored funding collaboration proposals (program expansion, Fresh Rescue logistics, advocacy efforts) to sustain growth.

Food rescue expansion Leverage the Fresh Rescue program and partnerships with retailers to offer end-to-end food recovery and distribution services to new donors and geographic areas, presenting opportunities to broker new supply agreements and joint marketing campaigns with retailers.

Policy & advocacy Offer policy and outreach support to strengthen SNAP advocacy and public awareness, connecting with strategic communications partners and hunger solution networks to position the organization as a go-to advocate, which can attract government and foundation support.

Strategic partnerships Explore collaborations with hospitality, logistics, and technology vendors to optimize distribution networks, data analytics, and volunteer engagement, mirroring current partnerships and enabling scalable operations for more partner agencies.

Public engagement Capitalize on high-visibility events like Steel Chef Challenge and mobile pantries to create sponsorship and cause-marketing opportunities, offering brands co-branding, event sponsorships, and employee volunteering programs aligned with their CSR goals.
