Introducing the STIR Program (Support, Training, Incubation, and Resources)
Through STIR, the Concordia Food Coalition supports student-led food groups at every stage of their journey—whether you’re planting the seeds of a new project, growing an existing initiative, or revitalizing your group’s impact. We help food initiatives grow their impact with tailored supports, training and access to expert advisors. Let’s stir things up together.

How it Works:
Begin the process of joining the STIR program by filling out the short Request for Support form below.
Next, our Food Network Coordinator will schedule a meeting with you to collaboratively fill out a more detailed intake form. This meeting is an opportunity to get to know your group better and understand your project’s priorities.
Our selection committee will review the intakes forms seasonally and we will be in touch with a decision on how we can best support your project!
Got an idea for a food systems media project?
Whether it’s a zine, podcast, photo series, short video, or infographic campaign, the Creator Micro-Grant is here to help bring your vision to life. We’re offering small grants and support resources to support bold, creative projects that spark dialogue, build awareness, and shift narratives around food justice, sustainability, culture, and community. Open to students and alumni —no fancy portfolio needed, just a strong idea and a passion for change.
