Feeding Bristol is a Bristol-based food justice funder focused on making nutritious, affordable, culturally appropriate food more accessible while strengthening the city’s local food system. It appears to prioritize grassroots community food projects, emergency support, and practical capacity-building for organizations and groups working directly with people experiencing food insecurity. A distinctive feature of its giving is participatory grantmaking, especially through the Bristol Local Food Fund, which uses a Citizens Panel with lived experience to help decide where money goes.
Primarily small-to-midsize grants to multiple Bristol-based community groups, including participatory awards through the Bristol Local Food Fund and targeted emergency funding through the Crisis and Resilience Fund. It also offers in-kind or small equipment grants after training through the Food Leaders programme; some support is likely application-based, while BLFF is shaped by a citizen-led selection process.

Monitor Feeding Bristol’s website for funding rounds such as the Crisis and Resilience Fund and the Bristol Local Food Fund, and be prepared to show clear Bristol impact, community need, and alignment with food justice. For Food Leaders support, groups should complete the training first, since equipment grants come post-course; applicants should emphasize practical delivery, community reach, and how the funding will improve access to culturally appropriate food.
