Cacfp sponsor admin

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Nevada Department of Agriculture $121,874 on October 1, 2025, under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558) to administer the CACFP sponsor program in Nevada.

The recipient, Nevada Department of Agriculture, a division of the State of Nevada government, provides administrative support for CACFP operations, including reimbursements for nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children and adults enrolled in participating child care centers, day care homes, and adult care facilities, as well as children attending afterschool care programs in low-income areas and children in emergency shelters. The Nevada Department of Agriculture operates as the state administering agency responsible for the program's day-to-day administration under a written federal-state agreement with FNS. The agency enters into permanent written agreements with participating child and adult care institutions, establishes audit policies, provides grievance hearing procedures for local institutions, and ensures compliance with federal requirements.

The award obligates $121,874 for the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. Performance occurs in Nevada. The funding flows from FNS to Nevada Department of Agriculture as the state-level pass-through agency; the agency in turn provides grant disbursements to local sponsoring organizations, centers, and day care homes participating in CACFP throughout the state.
