Restaurants Eligible for Grant to Reduce Food Waste

Restaurant owners can receive a micro-grant for reducing food loss and waste through Project REDUCE.

In its third year, Project REDUCE will award restaurants with $1,000 micro-grants to implement simple, creative, innovative, and money saving food waste prevention projects.

Restaurants participating in Project REDUCE will receive hands-on training and technical assistance from a local Chef, Chris Lenza. Restaurants will also be showcased by the City of Phoenix through Project REDUCE week – a week-long recognition event to promote participating restaurants.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until June 30, 2026, so apply now!

Two online information listening sessions will be available for interested restaurants to ask questions and further develop applications:

Information Session 1: Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at 10 a.m.

Information Session 2: Monday, June 15, 2026, at 3 p.m.
