The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is offering this grant to provide financial support to WIC State agencies. This grant is for the purpose of facilitating WIC Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) planning activities across states. Specifically, the Planning Grant aims to assist qualified State agencies in developing robust plans tailored to their unique needs, paving the way for eventual EBT pilot implementation. Funds will be awarded based on the project’s viability and the thoroughness of the application. Applicants should note that receiving funds from this grant does not guarantee future funding from subsequent WIC EBT solicitations. This initiative is designed to bolster preparedness for a nationwide EBT system.
