The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Department of Education Indiana $108,504 in formula grant funding on October 1, 2025, under the State Administrative Expenses for Child Nutrition program (CFDA 10.560), with performance through September 30, 2026.

The award funds administrative expenses for Indiana's supervision and technical assistance to local schools, school districts, and institutions conducting Child Nutrition Programs, including the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Special Milk Program, and Child and Adult Care Food Program. The funding is allocated to the state agency based on a formula tied to child nutrition program expenditures in the second preceding fiscal year: one percent of funds expended under the National School Lunch Act and Child Nutrition Act sections for the lunch, breakfast, and special milk programs, and a tiered percentage of Child and Adult Care Food Program expenditures (20 percent of the first $50,000; 10 percent of the next $100,000; 5 percent of the next $250,000; and 2.5 percent of remaining funds).

Performance occurs in Indiana. The Department of Education Indiana, doing business as the Superintendent of Public Instruction, administers this and other substantial child nutrition formula grants totaling over $131 million in National School Lunch Program funding, along with Child and Adult Care Food Program and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grants, distributing federal support to local educational agencies and school districts throughout Indiana.
