The Castanea Fellowship is a two-year, awarded program that provides fellows the space, time, and resources to grow skills, connections, and community. The Castanea Fellowship looks for dedicated leaders ready to deepen the impact of their vision to build a healthier, more equitable, and sustainable food system. The Fellowship is for engaged leaders who are already equipped with a deep understanding of how the food system could shift in a meaningful way and have had considerable impact, yet know they could do much more. The leaders are those who have demonstrated commitment to the work, understand racial equity, believe in the power of diversity, and welcome collaboration. $40,000 awarded over the two years of the fellowship to support the work and participation of Fellows.
