Massachusetts Food Trust Program
Eligibility Application

Thank you for your interest in the Massachusetts Food Trust Program (MFTP). This form will assess your business’s eligibility for the program. Upon receiving this completed form, program partners will review your eligibility application, reach out to you to schedule a phone call, and conduct additional research to determine whether your project aligns with the program’s mission and eligibility criteria. We will strive to notify you within 2-4 weeks of receiving this form about whether you are eligible and next steps in the process.


The MFTP is a revolving loan and grant fund with a goal to establish a financing infrastructure that increases access to healthy, affordable food options, with a preference for fresh locally sourced Massachusetts grown, caught or harvested healthy food and to improve economic opportunities for nutritionally underserved communities in urban, rural and suburban localities.

You may reach out to us with any questions by contacting Caroline Harries at charries@thefoodtrust.org. We look forward to hearing about your healthy food projects!

About Your Project

In order to be eligible, projects need to align with the goals of the MFTP, namely by serving a low-to-moderate-income community, by being located in an underserved area (i.e. with limited to no access to fresh food retail), and by meeting the needs and expectations of the community.
