Cacfp sponsor admin

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Oregon Department of Education $1,402,173 on October 1, 2025 under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558) to administer CACFP sponsor reimbursements and related program operations in Oregon through September 30, 2027.

The award funds the Oregon Department of Education's administration of the Child and Adult Care Food Program, which provides reimbursement for nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children and adults enrolled in participating child care centers, day care homes, afterschool care programs in low-income areas, and emergency shelters. The administering state agency enters into written agreements with participating child and adult care institutions and provides hearing procedures for local institution grievances. Program operations include establishing audit policies, reviewing institution applications within 30 calendar days, and ensuring institutions maintain records for three years after the fiscal year to which they pertain.

The Oregon Department of Education passed through sub-awards to four organizations on November 12, 2025: Oregon Child Development Coalition, Inc.; Northwest Nutrition Services; Mid-Willamette Valley Community Action Agency, Inc. (doing business as Community Action Headstart); and Neighbor Impact. Each sub-grantee received funding for CACFP sponsor administration in family day care homes (FDCH). Performance of work occurs in Oregon.
