Financing Healthy Food Retail 2.0:
Tools and Resources for Effective Program Implementation
Tuesday, December 17, 2013
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Pacific / 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Eastern
 Across
the country healthy food financing initiatives and programs are helping to increase access to nutritious foods for millions of Americans. Terms such as "food desert" and "underserved" have become commonplace, yet clear definitions can be elusive and vary by
state and program. Other challenges include building a robust pipeline of applicants and marketing the program effectively, as well as attracting additional investment to support projects.
This
webinar will discuss how these initiatives are being administered by community development financial institutions (CDFIs) and food access organizations on the local and state level.
Participants will learn how program administrators determine the eligibility of projects in areas of need, employ marketing and outreach strategies to attract grocery applicants, and attract additional investments to healthy food financing programs. Speakers
will share best practices and case studies from the field.
