The Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation funds interdisciplinary research and practice that build sustainable, equitable food systems and support community-focused arts to strengthen civic life and critical thinking. They prioritize projects that link agronomy, nutrition, social sciences and policy to improve access to healthy diets and ecosystem health, and they also back citizen art, art–science collaborations and cultural initiatives that foster social ties. Funding is directed primarily to researchers, civic organizations and cultural institutions in France, Spain and select international partners through fellowships, prizes, targeted grants and impact investments.
Provides medium-size, multi-year awards and fellowships (e.g., 24‑month postdoctoral contracts), biennial research prizes, targeted project grants, and occasional impact investments; prefers interdisciplinary, pilotable projects with demonstrable pathways to practice and scale, mainly in France and Spain with selective international awards.
