WIC admin non appro

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services $1,327,959 on October 1, 2025, under the WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (CFDA 10.557), a formula grant supporting administrative operations for the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with performance in Wisconsin.

The WIC program provides federal grants to state agencies for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education, including breastfeeding promotion and support, for income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five determined to be at nutritional risk. The formula grant mechanism allocates funds to state agencies in accordance with funding formulas set forth in program legislation and regulations; state agencies then distribute funds to local agencies to support program operations.
