Opportunity Summary:
The FY2010 Special Supplemental Nutrition Program (SEBTC) for WIC Model grant opportunity was a USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) discretionary grant created under the authority and funding provided by the 2010 Agriculture Appropriations Act (P.L. 111-80). Its overall purpose was to support demonstration projects that could be rigorously evaluated to determine effective ways to reduce or prevent food insecurity and hunger among children during the summer months, when access to school meals is limited. In that larger effort, FNS aimed to test both enhancements to the existing Summer Food Service Program for Children (SFSP) and alternative approaches that deliver benefits directly to households so that eligible children still receive nutrition assistance outside the school year.
This specific solicitation focused on the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children (SEBTC) demonstration using a WIC-based model. Instead of relying solely on congregate feeding sites or other SFSP delivery mechanisms, the SEBTC approach tested a household-based benefit that could reach low-income, food-insecure school children during the summer. The emphasis on an electronic benefit mechanism reflects an effort to improve reach and convenience, reduce barriers like transportation to meal sites, and evaluate whether providing households with benefits directly can better prevent summer hunger.
Funding was set at an estimated total of $2.7 million, with an expected three awards. Individual awards were anticipated to fall between $750,000 (award floor) and $900,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the grant.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, and the requirements were specific. To apply, a state had to be operating a statewide WIC EBT system by October 29, 2010, and only one application per state was allowed. These constraints indicate that the project depended on existing, statewide electronic benefit infrastructure so that the SEBTC model could be implemented and evaluated in a consistent and scalable way.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number USDA FNS SEBTC WIC FY2010, and it was categorized under Agriculture with the CFDA listing 10.559 (Summer Food Service Program for Children).
