Community Partners (Coupon Distributors)

How to Become a Community Partner

Community Partners play a key role in the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program (FMNCP) by distributing coupons to community members who face barriers to accessing fresh, nutritious food.

Who Can Apply
This application is intended for organizations that are new to the FMNCP and wish to join the program as a coupon distributor for the first time.

To be eligible, your organization must:

  1. Support lower-income families, pregnant people, and/or seniors/elders
  2. Have a participating BCAFM member Farmers’ Market located in your community. If one does not exist already, your local farmers market must also apply for the FMNCP.

Please note: Applications for the 2026 intake are now closed.

We still encourage you to submit an application if you’re interested in participating. This helps us better understand your community’s needs and ensures your organization is considered should additional funding or opportunities become available.

If you have funding available, you can also choose to purchase coupons directly. Please complete this form and get in touch if you’d like to explore this option.
