Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations Nutrition Education Grant: The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended through Public Law 115-334, authorizes the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) and provides for the provision of funds to State Agencies and Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs) to conduct nutrition education activities. Since 2008, annual appropriations acts have provided funding for nutrition education services to State Agencies and Federally Recognized Tribes who are current FDPIR allowance holders and have a direct agreement with FNS to administer FDPIR. The need for FDPNE is determined annually by Congress. Funding is usually provided in the annual appropriations bill. FNS anticipates the 2022 Appropriations Act to provide $998,000 under Title IV for this grant program. Grant awards are dependent on availability of funding.The overall goal of the FDPNE grant program is to improve the likelihood that persons eligible for FDPIR will make healthy food choices consistent with the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans and USDA MyPlate Guidance.
