The Fund
What is the Slow Food Negroni Week Fund?
The Slow Food Negroni Week Fund will give direct support (through incubator grants) to global activities and in particular those projects that support and promote quality food and beverage in every corner of the planet, helping on the one hand the world of production that preserves cultural and biological diversity, and on the other hand consumer education and knowledge exchange. In addition, the Slow Food Negroni Week Funds also seeks to support the development of new initiatives proposed by entities operating in the hospitality sector.
The Slow Food Negroni Week Fund wants to support community-led projects which are leading the transformation of the global food system through preserving cultural and biological diversity, promoting food and beverage education and knowledge exchange, and raising awareness on critical food and beverage issues.
Those projects must contribute to achieve the expected Goals of the Fund:
- Implement change in local food and beverage systems by adopting more sustainable and inclusive practices.
- Increase synergies between diverse stakeholders in the food chain, building partnerships between producers and local partners, and creating long-term robust local food economies.
- Support the world of production that preserves cultural and biological diversity and on the other hand consumer education and knowledge exchange.

- SMALL GRANTS: From USD $3,000 to USD $5,000
- MEDIUM GRANTS: From USD $5,001 to USD $10,000
- LARGE GRANTS: From USD $10,001 to USD $15,000
