Emerging Advocacy Fund

Since our founding in 1985, MAZON has been committed to addressing food insecurity through policy change. We are proud of our pioneering role in building a strong and effective anti-hunger infrastructure in diverse communities across the U.S. We are equally proud that, through MAZON’s Emerging Advocacy Fund, we support partners in some of the most food-insecure states in the country — places where systems often are failing, policymakers often turn the other way, and people face a variety of barriers to assistance. These partnership grants are structured to increase or sustain staff capacity at anti-hunger organizations throughout the country, helping to advance long-term solutions to hunger in their communities.

“The stakes are even higher today as communities of all sizes struggle to overcome the health and economic consequences of COVID-19. Support from MAZON will allow us, for the first time, to advance anti-hunger advocacy in Nebraska state policy and begin the process of building a food policy initiative designed to improve lives across the nation.”
