In 2022, more than $160,000 that was raised from partners and sponsors to support the event to allow for an expansive, equitable access initiative that included providing financial assistance (complimentary registration, lodging, childcare, and other travel costs) to all 156 individuals who completed requests for support, equivalent to 32% of attendees. As our Summit continues to inspire collaborative action towards a more resilient and equitable food future, participants who may experience economic hardship by participating in the event are invited to apply for financial support.
