Ideal Applicant
An Oregon-based farmers market or local food-access organization that implements SNAP/Double Up Food Bucks-style matching and can manage reporting and operations for the DUFB program.
Good Fit
- • Operates a farmers market, CSA coalition, or farm-stand program in Oregon.
- • Direct experience administering SNAP/benefit-matching or point-of-sale systems.
- • Capacity to manage programmatic reporting and fiscal stewardship for a public-private match program.
- • Existing partnerships with local food banks, market operators, or state food-security networks.
- • Serves low-income communities within Oregon and can demonstrate local impact.
Geography
Observed grant dollars are essentially restricted to Oregon across the three-year record, with 100% of dollars staying in-state in the latest year despite a small count representation in a second state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a broad recipient set (61 distinct recipients and 64 grants), which indicates a wide institutional spread for a program-focused funder despite monetary concentration in a few large partners.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows new entrants are funded (18 new recipients in 2024) alongside many returning grantees, but no formal application process is published, so unfamiliar applicants may gain access but likely via program alignment or relationship-building rather than an open competitive application.
