WIC Administrative Expenses Formula Grant Summary

The Department of Health Wyoming received a formula grant award of $2,814,524 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC, CFDA 10.557) administrative expenses. The award, obligated on October 1, 2025, with a performance period through September 30, 2026, supports the state agency's operational and administrative functions necessary to deliver the WIC program across Wyoming.

Under this formula grant, the Department of Health Wyoming utilizes the funding to support administrative infrastructure and operations that enable delivery of supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education (including breastfeeding promotion and support), and health and social service referrals to income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five determined to be at nutritional risk. As a state agency administering WIC across its predominantly rural and frontier geography, Wyoming leverages these administrative resources to distribute funds to local agencies, manage program certification and enrollment, oversee food delivery systems, and maintain compliance with federal program requirements and civil rights procedures.
