The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is offering this grant to WIC State agencies to support crucial Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) planning activities. This grant is for State agencies lacking a current FNS EBT planning cooperative agreement, aiming to facilitate the eventual implementation of EBT projects. Funding is contingent upon availability, with up to $5 million anticipated for awards. Individual proposals will determine Cooperative Agreement end dates. Notably, applications submitted for FY 2011 may also be considered for funding EBT planning projects in FY 2012, ensuring continued support for states as they transition to EBT systems.
