To cultivate the power of farmers markets to drive economic and community health in the region.
Marketumbrellaorg’s recent grantmaking centers on making farmers markets work as access points for fresh food and local economic activity. The largest grants in the current file go to Louisiana groups expanding SNAP or FMNP nutrition incentive programs, including a $105,000 award to Big River Economic and Agricultural Development Alliance and a $93,750 award to the same organization for the same purpose. That pattern shows a funder investing in market-based nutrition supports rather than one-off charitable gifts. The foundation also backs technical assistance and training for market operators and food-system partners. New Orleans Food Policy Advisory Committee received $48,431 for classes, training, and field days, while Sprout Nola and Recirculating Farms Coalition also appear among the current grants for the same type of support. Across the file, grants are issued to farmers markets, food policy groups, producer networks, and local vendors, with Louisiana organizations appearing repeatedly. Marketumbrellaorg’s stated summary frames this work as cultivating the power of farmers markets to drive economic and community health in the region. The grant list reflects that mission through direct support for nutrition incentives, vendor capacity, and market programming tied to local produce sales and shopper affordability.
A major theme is SNAP and FMNP incentive expansion. Louisiana Central received $46,500 to create or expand a SNAP or FMNP nutrition incentive program, and Camelia City Farmers Market received $30,000 for the same purpose. Several other market organizations show the same pattern, indicating a strong emphasis on subsidies that make produce more affordable at market stalls. Technical assistance is another clear area of support. New Orleans Food Policy Advisory Committee received $48,431 for classes, training, and field days, while Top Box Foods received $43,736 and $40,833 for that work area. Sprout Nola and Recirculating Farms Coalition also received awards for the same purpose, linking the foundation to training and field-based support. Producer and market capacity building appears as well. Grants to Indian Spring Farmers and Indian Spring Farmers Association in Petal, Mississippi, were both tied to technical assistance, showing that the foundation also supports organizational development for market-linked producers.

Typical grants cluster around a middle range: the p25 is $13,333, the median is $23,000, and the p75 is $40,833. The file shows repeated awards to the same recipients in 2025, including multiple grants to Big River Economic and Agricultural Development Alliance, New Orleans Food Policy Advisory Committee, Sprout Nola, Recirculating Farms Coalition, Top Box Foods, Camelia City Farmers Market, and others. That indicates ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. The organization is a foundation, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
