Snap tefap - grants to states

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Alabama State Department of Education $1,439,855 on October 1, 2025, under the Emergency Food Assistance Program (Administrative Costs) formula grant (CFDA 10.568), with performance through September 30, 2027, in Alabama.

The award funds storage and distribution costs for the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). The Alabama State Department of Education administers TEFAP as the state's distributing agency, passing through at least 40 percent of administrative funds to emergency feeding organizations and local participating agencies under federal-state agreements. The Central Alabama Aging Consortium receives and distributes sub-award funds to support emergency food assistance delivery across central Alabama. The formula allocation methodology apportions funds among states according to relative share of persons with income below the poverty level (60 percent weighting) and unemployed persons (40 percent weighting). Participating agencies retain normal records accounting for receipts and dispersals for three years following fiscal year close or until any outstanding audit, claim, or litigation settles.
