The Regional Food Bank is proud to partner with the New York State Department of Health to offer HPNAP and Operations Support grants. The application period for the 2026-2027 grant cycle will open on 4/1/2026. You can access the online grant portal at the button below for more information.
Note: The system we are using to process grant applications is not the same system we use as our online ordering system. If you have not applied for a grant with the Regional Food Bank in the past 18 months (FoodForward, HPNAP, OS, etc.), your first step when clicking the above button will be to “Create a New Account.” Please find a video below about how to register before applying.
