This federal Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (CFDA 10.557) provides $28,075,372 in funding to the Indiana Department of Health to administer the WIC program.

The Indiana Department of Health utilizes this funding to provide WIC services statewide, and also awards sub-grants to local health departments, community organizations, and healthcare providers to expand the reach of the program. Key sub-awardees include Northwest Indiana Community Action Corp, County of LaGrange, Open Door Health Services, Community Action Program Inc. of Western Indiana, Neighborhood Health Clinics, and others who help deliver WIC nutrition assistance and services to eligible participants across Indiana.
