Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FNS SEBTC ADMIN 2019
The FY 2019 SUMMER EBT grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: USDA FNS SEBTC ADMIN 2019) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). It falls under the Food and Nutrition funding activity area and is associated with CFDA Number 10.579. The program is structured as a grant funding instrument, meaning selected applicants receive federal financial assistance to carry out authorized program activities rather than a procurement contract to purchase goods or services.
This opportunity is aimed at supporting the administration of Summer EBT-related efforts through agencies that already run major USDA nutrition assistance programs. Eligible applicants are described as "Others," with the key clarification provided in the description: state agencies and Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs) that operate or administer the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Eligibility also explicitly includes ITOs operating WIC. In practical terms, the applicant pool is limited to governmental and tribal entities that have existing roles in administering these core nutrition programs, positioning them to implement or support Summer EBT administrative functions.
The grant was created on October 31, 2018, with an original application closing date of January 2, 2019. The opportunity anticipates making a small number of awards, with an expected total of 2 awards. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $30,000,000, indicating that individual awards could be quite substantial depending on the scope and design of the proposed administrative approach. While the notice text provided does not detail required activities, performance periods, match requirements, or specific allowable costs, the title and administering agency strongly indicate the funding is intended to help eligible administering entities plan, implement, or manage administrative components related to Summer EBT operations within the context of USDA nutrition programs.
Overall, this is a targeted USDA FNS discretionary grant designed for a narrow set of experienced state and tribal administering agencies, with a large potential award ceiling and only a couple of expected awards, suggesting a competitive process focused on a limited number of large-scale administrative implementations or pilots connected to Summer EBT.Apply for USDA FNS SEBTC ADMIN 2019
