In this two-page resource, the process to apply for this free 12-digit number is outlined. This resource complements a webinar hosted on June 20, 2024 where Dan Cornelius of Yowela Farms and Aje Elliott of Workin' Roots Farm shared firsthand experiences in applying for grants from a federal source. 

This resource sheet is designed to assist entrepreneurs in preparing to apply for grant funding from various sources, including forthcoming Business Builder Awards from the Great Lakes Midwest Regional Food Business Center.

Michigan State University Center for Regional Food Systems (MI) coordinates the Great Lakes Midwest Regional Food Business Center that is comprised of network coordinators – Chicago Food Policy Action Council (IL), Northwest Indiana Food Council (IN), Food Finance Institute of the University of Wisconsin System (WI), and the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin Department of Agriculture and Food Systems – who seek to take a transformational, rather than transactional, approach.
