SECTION 1
HUNGER
Hunger is the physical sensation of desiring food.
Malnutrition, famine, starvation
Malnutrition is a general term for a condition
caused by improper diet or nutrition, and can
occur in conjunction with both under and over
consumption of calories.
Famine is a widespread scarcity of food that may
apply to any fauna species, which phenomenon is
usually accompanied by regional malnutrition,
starvation, epidemic, and increased mortality.
Starvation describes a "state of exhaustion of
the body caused by lack of food." This state
may precede death.

TO
END
HUNGER
A hungry child is a powerful motivator for
a foundation or a government agency to take
action.
Many grants are available for nonprofits
fighting hunger. Incorporating elements of
sustainable food practice and nutrition
education can strengthen a nonprofit's
application for a grant to fight hunger.
Telling stories of the benefit of your hunger
program will also help to attract funding and
support.
Government Grants
Many government agencies provide some type of
funding for alleviating hunger. Get to know
other local organizations that fight hunger
that already receive government funding. Most
will be eager to collaborate. Programs that
will pay for food include the Emergency Food
and Shelter Program, the Emergency Food
Assistance Program and a wide variety of food
aid offered through the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. Research local government and
food bank websites for information. Most
government funding for hunger is provided to
local governments, which then distribute the
funds.
Private Foundations and Corporations
Most cities and counties have a community
foundation that supports local hunger programs.
Access the community foundation's website to
determine if your nonprofit organization could
be eligible. A focus on nutrition or sustainable
practices opens up a broader range of potential
funders. Be aware that "place-based funding" is
a current focus for foundations. In place-based
funding, your program will be eligible if it is
serving the hungry in a neighborhood where a
place-based initiative is seeking to produce
positive change.
Sustainable Hunger Programs
Direct funding from the government and private
foundations for traditional food distribution
programs may be less accessible than funding to
assist people in growing and sharing food in a
sustainable way. As of 2010, the traditional
concept of a locally operated cooperative food
shed has been revitalized as a way to help
communities to develop sustainable food and
nutrition systems. Government and private grants
are available for sustainable, local approaches
to hunger such as a food shed.
Networking and Prospecting
Prospecting is a professional fundraising term
referring to conducting research to discover
foundations, corporations or individuals who
might support your nonprofit's hunger program.
Closely allied to prospecting is networking.
Use media such as Facebook and Twitter to obtain
news about hunger programs and initiatives in
addition to traditional sources. If a foundation
has given a grant to an organization similar to
yours, you can network with the recipient to
discover if the foundation is also a prospect for
your nonprofit hunger program.
