FY26 FAM Grant Program Released Today!

Program Summary: The Office of Food Systems Resilience (OFSR) and the Office of Grants Management (OGM) are soliciting applications for the FY 2026 Food as Medicine Grant Program. $750,000 in total grant funding will be available to support healthcare and clinic-led Food as Medicine programs that increase access to culturally diverse, medically-relevant, nutritious, and locally produced food for Montgomery County households screening positive for food insecurity that include at least one child aged 0-18 and include a parent and/or child who have a current diagnosis of diet-related disease.  

Funded programs must be anchored in a healthcare or clinic setting and integrate clinical screening, referral, nutrition education, and recurring food access to improve health outcomes, strengthen care coordination, and reduce barriers to healthy eating for pediatric patients and their families. Programs should be designed to provide consistent food access on a recurring basis (at minimum biweekly), rather than one-time or episodic support, and in quantities intended to meaningfully supplement household nutrition needs during a defined enrollment period. 

Eligible programs include referral pathways originating from community health clinics serving adults, provided that the household benefitting from the intervention includes: one or more children ages 0–18; a parent/caregiver or child who meet program eligibility criteria; and that program services are structured to support improved health outcomes. 

The grant performance period is anticipated to cover a twelve (12) month period, from May 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027, with the opportunity for renewal for one additional year contingent on performance, continued need, and availability of funds. Individual awards are expected to range from $100,000 to $300,000. Final award amounts may be lower than $100,000.
