Applicants Eligible for this Grant: State governments
Additional Information on Eligibility: Authorization The Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-80) authorized the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to award $8 million in grants to State Agencies administering the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) for projects aimed at improving the health and nutrition of children in child care settings. Purpose The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a meal reimbursement program for eligible children and adults who attend non-residential day care facilities. The purpose of this grant is to provide awards, on a competitive basis, to State agencies administering the child care portion of the CACFP to develop and implement programs promoting the health and nutrition improvement of children in child care settings. State agencies receiving grant funding must use no less than fifty percent of grant funds to award sub-grants to child care institutions to promote the health and nutrition improvement of children in child care settings. We encourage potential applicants to carefully read the review and selection criteria on pages 7-9. These criteria demonstrate the qualities FNS expects successful proposals to have, and will guide the reviewers' evaluation of proposals.
Grant Description: Up to $8 million is available for the CACFP Child Care Wellness Grants. Through a competitive process, CACFP Child Care Wellness Grants will be funded for a period of two to three years after award distribution. We anticipate individual grant awards to be between $100,000 and $1,000,000 though we will consider request for other amounts, if justified. The submission of an application does not guarantee funding.Funding approved for CACFP Child Care Wellness Grants will be provided through a Grant Award/Letter of Credit process, in the same manner as other federal funds, upon receipt of a properly executed Grant Agreement and subject to the availability of funding. All CACFP Child Care Wellness Grant funds must be obligated and all activities under the Grant must be completed within two to three years after distribution of grant funding. States may designate a two or three year grant period based on proposal complexity and award amount.
