Our Grantors
Grantors are critical for Our Daily Bread Food Pantry (ODBFP) as they supply almost 1/3 of the funds we require to feed those who come to us in need. ODBFP looks for grantors with similar desires to our mission – to assist food-insecure individuals and improve these lives in our community.
The Grant team at the pantry is responsible for searching out grantors with like interests, providing the data they require through an application, and, if the grant is approved, developing reports showing the grantor how the grant money was used. Grants are typically 12 months long, requiring finding and writing new ones yearly. Grants can be written for a variety of needs beyond just purchasing food, such as the back of house operations; trucks, generators, refrigeration, storage space, and racks for food. We love establishing long-term relationships with our grantors and invite them to see the pantry in action to learn more about what we do! ODBFP‘s appreciation for our grantors cannot be overstated – thank you!
