The Pueblo Food Project was created by the first Colorado Health Foundation award in

several counties in Colorado awarded to create food councils. After the initial grant of

This $400,000 grant becomes the third round of funding awarded from Colorado Health
Foundation to the Pueblo Food Project to continue work and to transition to a nonprofit
corporation.

There are no matching funds required for this grant. Colorado Health Foundation will
deliver the first piece of funding in the amount of $216,000 after the passage of this
ordinance and $184,000 in 2023 for the second year of the grant term.
