About | How to Join | Members About the Good Food Organization Program The Good Food Organization program is a cross-country network that connects like-minded community food organizations under the banner of the Good Food Principles. Member organizations have access to tools, resources, training, grants and networking opportunities to inspire and empower them to not only offer high-quality food programs, but also engage in regional and national actions. Since its creation in 2014, the GFO program has grown from 25 organizations to more than 400 in all 13 provinces and territories across Canada, as well as a growing global contingent with members in the United States and Australia. A Good Food Organization could be a community farm, a food justice group, or a social service organization. They all have one big thing in common—programs that build health, belonging, and social justice through the power of food, connected to a core philosophy of Good Food Principles. When an organization joins the Good Food Organizations community, they become part of a national movement fighting food insecurity and poverty. Benefits of the program Community: Connect with other like-minded organizations at virtual and in-person gatherings that offer opportunities to network, learn, and share. Resources: Gain access to resources such as program manuals, research summaries, evaluation frameworks, communications planning tools, and fundraising tip sheets. Virtual training: Benefit from small group training sessions focused on program development (healthy food access, food skills, food bank transformation, advocacy) and capacity building (communications, evaluation, fundraising). Advocacy: Join a national movement! Through policy solutions, collective advocacy and campaign materials we collectively demand better federal income and social policies. Grants: While not the focus of the program, we distribute grants at varying times and notify our partners of these opportunities as they arise. and more! Who should apply?
