Budget estimate

$50,000 – $200,000

The bid does not disclose a specific grant amount. Municipal fresh‑produce grant programs of this size typically range from $50,000 to $200,000 per award, depending on the scope of distribution and number of participating community partners. Assuming a mid‑size city program, a reasonable estimate would be a low end of about $50 k and a high end near $200 k.
