Entrepreneurs Seth Goldman, founder of Honest Tea, Plnt Burger, and chair of the board of Beyond Meat, and Julie Farkas have launched a new grants program called Eat the Change Impact to help national and community-based nonprofits promote more planet-friendly foods. The program plans to donate $1 million, or $335,000 per year, over the next three years. Grant applications are open from April 1 to May 15, and grants will be awarded by August 1.
The core values of the Eat the Change Impact program are eating with intention, fact-based science, democratizing planet-friendly diets, and innovation. "Planet-friendly diets do not have to be economically or geographically exclusive," said Julie Farkas, in a statement. "There are significant gaps in terms of information and access to planet-friendly diets, but we hope these grants will help close those gaps."
