Thank you for your interest in joining the Food Waste Funder Circle, co-founded by ReFED and the Upcycled Food Association. 

The Food Waste Funder Circle (FWFC) advances the ecosystem required to reduce food waste by creating a platform for capital provider education, collaboration, and investment. 

The FWFC is for private investors and public and philanthropic funders interested in using their capital to target food waste challenges -- it is free to join and open to individual investors and representatives from small family offices, foundations, VC and PE firms, and more.
