Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Health Wyoming received a Formula Grant award of $3.56 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC, CFDA 10.557) for the period of October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. This funding supports WIC food expenses, providing supplemental nutritious foods to income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, as well as infants and children up to age five who are determined to be at nutritional risk. The award enables Wyoming to continue delivering essential nutrition assistance and related support services through its network of local agencies statewide.

As a Formula Grant distributed according to federally established funding formulas, these resources support Wyoming's participation in the national WIC program infrastructure. The state agency distributes the federal funding to local agencies to facilitate program operations, including food procurement, nutrition education, breastfeeding promotion, and referrals to health and social services. This funding represents Wyoming's allocation under the statutory WIC program framework and contributes to improving nutritional outcomes and health status for vulnerable maternal and child populations across the state.
