CGC awarded six grants, at $5,000 each, to Colorado-based businesses and nonprofit organizations working to get certified organic grain products to market. The awardees shared innovative concepts that help organic grain usage reach a larger audience and underscore the importance of organic grains in the food ecosystem.
The recipients and their project titles are as follows:

“We are pleased to award grants to these grain-focused organizations,” said Lisa Boldt, Executive Director of the Colorado Grain Chain. “This round of Microgrants highlights the end stage of the supply chain, supporting the makers who transform organic grains into finished products. They are the bridge connecting Coloradans to agriculture through foods and beverages made with locally grown grains, which helps the entire grain value chain grow stronger.”
