Stepwell Strategies, with funding from the Northeast Regional Food Business Center, is excited to announce a new grant support program providing low/no-cost services to participants in the Northeast through the Expanding Access to USDA Grant Writing Program.

The program supports businesses and organizations at the forefront of food and agriculture and prioritizes organizations led and serving historically underserved (HU) communities and individuals, including BIPOC, immigrants, and refugees, and is available to individuals in 11 Northeast States. The program offers two pathways designed to meet the specific needs of each organization as they tackle a USDA grant application in 2025: receive full-service grant writing support at a heavily subsidized rate, or build internal organizational capacity for grant development through a guided support program. The first step is completing a short interest form.
