Molly Notarianni Growth Grant

2025 Application Process

Thank you for your interest in the 2025 Molly Notarianni Growth Grant program. Farmers Market Fund (FMF) seeks to make local food more available to all Oregonians by growing the number of farmers markets in Oregon that accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and offer SNAP matching incentive programs such as Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) to their customers. 

Before applying, applicants should closely review the Request for Applications (RFA). This document provides an overview of the program and its purpose, outlines eligibility requirements and available funds, lists allowable and unallowable expenses, gives evaluation criteria for applications, and includes a grant timeline. Applicants will need to understand the information in the RFA before applying and so are strongly encouraged to read through the RFA in advance of submitting their application.

How to Apply

All markets that have submitted a 2025 winter or main season Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) incentive funding application will be emailed an invitation from FMF to apply for a Growth Grant with a unique link to a partially pre-filled application to make the process easier. Otherwise (or if you can't find your link/didn't receive one), any market may access the online application form directly here, including eligible markets not participating in Double Up Food Bucks. The deadline for submission is 11:59pm PST on March 13th, 2025. Please navigate through this website to learn more about the application and funding details.

New This Year

This year's application is very similar to last year's and should look familiar to those who participated in 2024. The primary difference is that reporting will be due at the end of October instead of the following January.
