Our Mission

The Chicago Food Policy Action Council (CFPAC) co-facilitates, advocates, and implements policies that advance food justice & sovereignty in Chicago and across the region. We work to ensure that all Chicagoans, especially black, indigenous, and residents of color, have the right to produce and access culturally appropriate, nutritious, sustainable and fair food.

The 2025 round of the GFPI Community Fund is open ! The objective of the Metro Chicago Good Food Purchasing Initiative (GFPI) Community Fund is to increase access to Good Food Purchasing Program (GFPP)-aligned produce and food products in the Metro Chicago Region. This Grant is intended for systemically marginalized, local farmers and food businesses who are working on increasing community food access that builds local economies, sustainable practices, fair labor, animal welfare, nutrition, and advances the work of building equity in the Metro Chicago food system. Office Hours and one on one appointments with GFPI Managers are available for additional support. Applications Close September 8th.
