IRS990/Desc0HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE FOOD: THE WAVE FOUNDATION FURTHER ADVANCED SYSTEMIC CHANGE TO OUR NATIONAL FOOD SYSTEMS BY DEVELOPING THE WAVE MARKETPLACE INITIATIVE. THIS INITIATIVE SUPPORTS THE INTEGRATION OF TRIBAL, BIPOC, WOMEN, AND RURAL PRODUCED FOODS INTO THE OPERATIONS OF THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY, WHICH ADDITIONALLY SUPPORTS FOOD SOVEREIGNTY, EQUITY, AND JUSTICE GOALS. DURING 2023, THE WAVE FOUNDATION LAUNCHED THE WAVE MARKETPLACE INITIATIVE THAT ENABLES THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY TO FEATURE FOOD PRODUCTS PRODUCED BY HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED FISHERS, FARMERS, AND RANCHERS. THIS INITIATIVE WAS FEATURED BY THE WHITE HOUSE DURING THEIR CONFERENCE ON FOOD, NUTRITION, & HEALTH. THE WAVE FOUNDATION FURTHER COLLABORATED WITH DELAWARE-NORTH TO SUPPORT FEATURING TRIBAL FOODS IN THEIR SERVICES INSIDE YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK. THE WAVE FOUNDATION HAS ALSO SECURED A PARTNERSHIP WITH COMPASS GROUP USA, THE LARGEST CORPORATE FOOD SERVICE ORIGINATION IN NORTH AMERICA, TO ADVANCE THE WAVE MARKETPLACE. DURING 2023, THE WAVE FOUNDATION WAS ASKED TO BECOME A PARTNER WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO WHO APPLIED FOR A CLIMATE-SMART COMMODITIES GRANT WITH THE USDA. IF AWARDED, WORK WOULD BE INITIATED IN 2024.
