FoodHub is a social venture business of Ecotrust made possible by the generous support and contributions of many.
We are particularly indebted to the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) and the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA). We applaud their vision and collaborative spirit.
Resources to develop a detailed business plan, test the concept with potential users, and evaluate software applications were initially provided by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Bullitt Foundation, Newman's Own Foundation and USDA's Rural Business Enhancement Grant (RBEG) program.
To build FoodHub, Ecotrust received support from the Annenberg Foundation, Eugene Water & Electric Board, Farm Aid, Bill Healy Foundation, Newman's Own Foundation, Oregon Department of Agriculture, Russell Family Foundation, USDA's Rural Business Enhancement Grant (RBEG) program and the Washington State Department of Agriculture.
Ecotrust also worked in close consultation and collaboration with a wide range of individuals and organizations. Idle curiosity, advice, letters of support, encouragement, constructive criticism, feedback on FoodHub’s business model, and great collaborative goodwill were provided by a long list of colleagues.
