The Kroger Co. has launched its Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Innovation Fund and its first open call for innovations to prevent food waste. Eligible innovators must submit a letter of intent by March 4, 2019. For the inaugural open call, Kroger will award grants ranging from $25,000 to $250,000 per project.
Grant recipients will be announced in spring 2019, and grantees will receive access to Kroger leaders and partners; the potential to test their solution with the Kroger Family of Companies or a partner; networking opportunities with program peers, industry experts, and investors; visibility through case studies, showcases, and promotional content; and the option to apply for follow-on funding.
