- Additional Information on Eligibility
- Please see page 12 of the RFA. Section 3 Eligibility Entities not meeting the eligibility definitions will be deemed ineligible and removed from competition without further consideration. Only State agencies are eligible for the FY 2025 Farm to School State Agency Grant. For the purposes of this RFA, State agencies are any statewide government agency that administers or works in partnership with the agency that administers the Federal CNPs (e.g., Office of Public Instruction, Department of Education, Department of Agriculture, Department of Health, etc.). Eligibility is not restricted to the State agency that administers the CNP(s). If a State Agency Grant applicant does not administer the NSLP, CACFP, SFSP, and/or the SBP, the applicant must include a letter of commitment from the CNP-administering State agency. This letter of commitment does count toward the three-letter limit.Any other entity type applying to the State Agency Grant track will have their application removed from consideration. Please note that local government agencies, such as city and county government agencies, are not considered to be State agencies and are thus ineligible to apply to the State Agency Grant.Additionally, applicants can only submit one application across the three FY 2025 Patrick Leahy Farm to School Grant solicitations (i.e. Implementation, Turnkey or State Agency). If multiple packages are submitted through Grants.gov by the same applicant to more than one FY 2025 Patrick Leahy Farm to School Grant solicitations ALL submissions will be removed.
