As part of the first-ever philanthropic culinary "Taste of the Draft" event, held in conjunction with the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, schools are invited to apply by Tuesday, March 4, for a Taste of the Draft School Nutrition Grant. The grants aim to enhance student access to nutritious school meals, including milk, fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein.
The grants will provide meal distribution equipment for up to 90 schools across the state in recognition of the 90th NFL Draft. Recipient schools can choose from three specialized equipment packages designed to meet their unique needs, ensuring that students have increased access to healthy meals throughout the school day.
Net proceeds raised through Taste of the Draft will benefit national nonprofit GENYOUth's efforts to tackle student hunger in Wisconsin in collaboration with the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin. Nearly half of Wisconsin students qualify for free or reduced-priced school meals based on household income, and one in six Wisconsin children lives in food insecurity.
