About NWI Food Council Inc.
NWI Food Council Inc., Northwest Indiana Food Council Division, is a woman-owned, tax-exempt nonprofit based in Valparaiso, Indiana, that operates as a federal grant recipient focused on regional food system development and farmer support in Indiana. The organization holds one prime federal grant award and participates as a sub-recipient on two additional federal grants, all from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for a combined $2.2 million in obligated federal funding.
NWI Food Council's primary federal footprint stems from a $1.24 million, three-year project grant from USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service awarded on October 31, 2021 (ultimate completion date October 30, 2024) under the Regional Food System Partnerships program, Local Agricultural Marketing Program (CFDA 10.168). That award funded the establishment of Hoosier Grown, a statewide nonprofit organization serving Indiana farmers seeking local and regional sales channels with a focus on historically underrepresented producers. Project activities included producer aggregation to strengthen market access, value-chain research and market-impact analysis, and stakeholder convening across public, private, and nonprofit sectors. The work built on a prior USDA grant that had established the Indiana Value Chain Network. As a sub-recipient, NWI Food Council participates in a May 2026 award from the Regents of the University of Minnesota (prime grantee) supporting the Indiana Small Farm Labor Learning Network, and in a January 2024 award from Michigan State University (prime grantee) supporting Great Lakes regional food system coordination, asset mapping, technical assistance delivery, and local food buyer network development across Indiana and the region.
Federal customer concentration is minimal: all three awards originate from the Department of Agriculture (two from Agricultural Marketing Service, one from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture). Activity is sparse, with one award per year in 2021, 2024, and 2026. NWI Food Council operates exclusively in the grant space; it does not hold contracts, IDVs, BPAs, or seats on government-wide vehicles.
