As part of #UNGA week, I chatted with Lisa Gresci about Newman's Own Foundation, our unique business model of giving 100% profits away, and food justice for kids. Shout out to SeriousFun Children's Network, FoodCorps, Food Research & Action Center, and all our grantee partners. Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/e_iwCDqV PS - My former employer Boston Consulting Group (BCG) has beautiful offices overlooking the Hudson River and a coffee bar which serves matcha latte - the London office back in my day was already very nice, but nothing like this! #SocialImpact #Philanthropy #FoodJustice #BCG

"Amouyel is continuing the foundation’s legacy of being on-trend by operationalizing some of the hot issues and approaches in the sector today. As she put it, her role focuses not so much on “the why” and “the what” of giving, but on the “how” of philanthropy." Thank you Inside Philanthropy for covering our unique model and approach to philanthropy, including using tech platforms, a new focus on data, and robust giving in #Indigenous communities. #philanthropy #socialimpact #nonprofit #givingcircle #foodjustice https://lnkd.in/euacwrzG

Did you catch John Oliver's recent segment on school food? It's extremely timely, as a new USDA report reveals that in 2023, nearly one in five children lived in households experiencing food insecurity—the highest rate since 2014. Christina Chauvenet, our Monitoring, Learning, and Evaluation Officer, shares her reflections on the latest USDA food insecurity report, John Oliver, and Newman's Own Foundation's funding approach. #foodjustice #nutritioneducation #indigenousfoodjustice #foodinsecurity #schoolmeals #USDA https://lnkd.in/gSy2VA45

We are thrilled to announce the 12 recipients of our very first Food Justice for Kids Prize. We were blown away by the innovation and commitment across the almost 500 applicants. We thank every organization that applied, our Advisory Council members, external reviewers and Community Fund members who helped us choose the recipients in what we aimed to be an open and transparent grantmaking process. The Food Justice for Kids Prize will deliver up to $1.2M in grant funding over the next 2 years to these 12 nonprofits and tribes working to advance Indigenous food justice, nutrition education, and school food programs for children across the United States. In addition, two organizations received the most votes in the Community Choice Awards, and will receive a $10,000 grant from Newman’s Own Foundation, as well as just under $3,000 in additional funds generously contributed by members of our Community Fund. #Indigenousfoodjustice #nutritioneducation #schoolfood Meet the recipients here: https://lnkd.in/e6ngak49

John Oliver of Last Week Tonight covers School Food in the way only he can. In the episode, he highlights some of the incredible work of our grantee partners, including Food Research & Action Center, among many other organizations. Oliver concludes: “Maybe we should be considering school lunch as an essential school supply, you know like books or desks, we accept that those are subsidized by the government as an investment in kids future. And I’d argue lunch should be too. And the way to achieve that shouldn’t be to ask each state to fund it out of their own budget but by passing legislation at the federal level." We couldn't agree more. Check out the episode here: https://lnkd.in/eYqQRTD8
