This grant is for enhancing participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by addressing systemic barriers. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is offering $5 million in funding to support projects that simplify the SNAP application and eligibility determination processes or improve access to benefits for eligible households. State agencies, public health or educational entities, and various private nonprofit organizations—such as community-based, faith-based groups, food banks, or emergency feeding organizations—are encouraged to apply. The purpose is to foster collaborations between state agencies and their community partners to develop and implement more accessible SNAP systems, ensuring that eligible individuals can more easily obtain vital food assistance.
