CNP SAF (o) - child nutrition program

The Federal Grant Award of type Formula Grant is from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service program titled "State Administrative Expenses for Child Nutrition" (CFDA 10.560). This $346,033.06 award, effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, provides funding to the New Jersey Department of Agriculture (NJDA) to cover administrative expenses associated with supervising and providing technical assistance for critical child nutrition initiatives. These programs include the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, and Emergency Food Assistance Program, with the primary objective of ensuring nutritional services are effectively delivered to children across local schools, districts, and institutions in New Jersey. The NJDA acts as a pass-through entity, potentially issuing sub-awards to local organizations like Rutgers University to support broader agricultural and nutritional initiatives in the state.
