A Look Back: The 2020 Food Solidarity Fund
The 2020 Food Solidarity Fund was a rapid response to provide critical financial assistance to organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In July of last year an independent and inclusive jury selected ten organizations from ten countries to receive grants of $10,000 each.
Of the recipient organizations, 70% were female-led and 90% incorporated an educational component, all working to build resilience in their communities during this global crisis.
SGM received over 60 applications from 30 countries including Mongolia, Ghana, Timor Leste, and Guatemala. The fund’s technical committee, consisting of advisors from Ashoka and BrazilFoundation, conducted the process of preselecting 15 finalists to be reviewed by the Food Solidarity Fund jury
