Grant Description

The purpose of the Project Implementation Grant is to assist qualified State agencies with implementation of EBT. State agencies must have submitted a cost analysis in order to qualify for these funds. These grant funds may be used in support of EBT project development and implementation. The award of funds under this RFA does not guarantee funding under future WIC EBT grant solicitations. FNS anticipates awarding funds for EBT implementation activities to one or more State agencies. The amount of funds awarded under this RFA depends on the number of requests received and the viability of the project. If funding levels are not sufficient in FY 2010 to fund these implementation grants, subject to the availability of funds, grants may be awarded in the subsequent fiscal year based on responses to this solicitation without further competition.
