2023 New York Healthy Food, Healthy Lives Match Program

Enrollment is now closed. Funding ends December 2023.

The New York Healthy Food, Healthy Lives Match Program supports BIPOC residents of New York State who crowdfund for community food systems and food justice.

This match program supports BIPOC residents and their leadership in creating healthy and just food systems in neighborhoods across New York State. Participants receive one-on-one crowdfunding support from ioby. The first $1,000 is matched per donor, and participants can access up to $5,000 in matching funds until the program ends.

Eligibility is limited to NY state residents who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color who are leading projects that improve public health in communities across New York State.

When you crowdfund with an ioby match program, you'll get:

Our free resources and guidance for how to crowdfund.
A one-on-one ioby crowdfunding coach to teach you how to successfully raise donations.
While you crowdfund, donations will be doubled instantly. (Up to $1,000 per donation and $5,000 per group.)
We offer fiscal sponsorship to groups that are not a 501(c)3.
Our fees are very low because we are a nonprofit.
