local partner fund

Local Vendors,

The Boise Co-op Local Partner Fund is an annual grant powered by customer Round Up donations that supports local vendors working to strengthen our community through food system development, nutrition education, environmental sustainability, and inclusion. Funds go directly to vendors to help cover expenses like farm equipment, educational opportunities, or other business needs that keep healthy, organic, and sustainable products on our shelves. If you're a local vendor looking for support, applications open July 1, 2025, and are due by July 15. Recipients will be selected by our Senior Leadership Team, Board of Directors, and Co-op Crew by July 31. Questions? Contact our Senior Director of Marketing, Tyler Schnur, at tschnur@boisecoop.com.

$25k Awarded in 2024

In 2024, the Boise Co-op awarded $25,000 through our Local Partner Fund, supporting seven incredible local vendors and their community-driven projects. From new equipment for Hudson Bakery and City Peanut, to rain barrels for Apis, and a sprouts program for the Boise Farmers Market, these grants helped strengthen Idaho’s food system and sustainability efforts. We also funded livestock and cold storage for Bold Rebalance Farm and a lunch program through One Stone Inc., furthering our commitment to local food, education, and inclusion. Every dollar was made possible by our customers' generous Round Up donations—thank you for investing in a healthier, more resilient community!
