Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FNS F2S 2017
The FY 17 Farm to School Grant Program, established under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, aims to enhance access to local foods in schools through grant funding and technical assistance. The program allocates $5 million annually from the USDA to support various farm to school initiatives.
Eligible entities can apply for competitive grants focusing on several key areas: training, operational support, planning, equipment purchasing, school garden development, partnership-building, and program implementation. The USDA emphasizes geographical diversity and equitable funding across urban, rural, and tribal communities. Priority is given to projects that promote local foods in school menus, serve a significant number of children eligible for free or reduced-price lunches, incorporate experiential nutrition education, demonstrate community collaboration, include participatory evaluations, and show potential for long-term sustainability.
Grant recipients must provide matching support, either in cash or in-kind contributions, and engage in program evaluations. There are four grant tracks available:
1. **Support Service Grants**: $65,000 - $100,000 for entities providing support services to farm to school initiatives. 2. **Implementation Grants**: $65,000 - $100,000 for schools looking to scale existing programs. 3. **Planning Grants**: $20,000 - $45,000 for schools initiating farm to school activities. 4. **Training Grants**: - State: $15,000 - $25,000 - Regional/National: $25,000 - $50,000
This funding opportunity aims to foster local food systems in schools and create sustainable programs that benefit children's nutrition and education.Apply for USDA FNS F2S 2017
