Welcome to the Network Support Funds (NSF) resource page. 

2026-2027 NSF Info Session: 

We will host a Network Support Fund (NSF) Information Session on October 15, 2026 from 11:00am-12:30pm to provide an overview of the 2026-2027 NSF Program. Regional food banks and partner agencies are welcome to attend.

Electronic Payments through Bill.com: The NSF program remains largely the same as last fiscal year. New this year are a grant agreement requirement for Rapid Response grants and an online grant payment resource called bill.com, which provides an electronic check option for grantees to receive funding. More information can be found linked below and will be covered during the info session.

Network Support Funds Overview
Oregon Food Bank offers two types of NSF grants to Regional Food Banks and Partner Agencies who are part of the Oregon Food Bank (OFB) Network of Regional Food Banks.

  • Partner Agencies are eligible for both one Rapid Response and one Capacity Building Grant per granting year. 
  • Regional Food Banks may apply for multiple Rapid Response and Capacity Building Grants.
  • Rapid Response applications are currently being accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. 
  • Capacity Building Grant applications period is November 2, 2026 - January 15, 2027. Decisions will be communicated by end of May 2027.
  • NSF prioritizes project proposals focused on expanding access to programs, as well as to the following priority equity constituencies, who are disproportionately impacted by food insecurity: Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC); immigrants and refugees; people who are transgender, gender non-conforming and LGBTQIA2S+; and single moms and caregivers.
  • In order to be considered, applicants must be in good standing with their regional food bank. Previous grantees must have completed all reporting requirements to be considered for additional grant funds.
  • If partners would like application materials in languages other than English, please contact us at NSF@oregonfoodbank.org.
  • Full program details are available in the Guidelines for Granting, linked below.

Fluxx Grant Management Platform: We have transitioned the online NSF grants platform to a new platform called Fluxx. Rapid Response and Capacity Building Applications are now available on Fluxx.
