About this award

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the New Jersey Department of Health a $199,190 Project Grant on August 11, 2025, under the WIC Grants to States program (CFDA 10.578) for WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselor (BFPC) bonus payments. The grant supports the delivery of breastfeeding performance incentive funding through September 30, 2026. This award recognizes New Jersey's achievements in promoting breastfeeding among Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program participants, specifically rewarding states that demonstrate the highest percentage of fully breastfed infants or the greatest improvement in breastfeeding rates year-over-year.

The New Jersey Department of Health distributed a sub-award of these bonus payments to Tri-County Community Action Agency, Inc. (operating as Gateway Community Action Partnership) effective January 27, 2026. Per federal program requirements, the sub-grantee must utilize the performance bonus funding for a statewide breastfeeding conference, supporting the WIC program's broader infrastructure and training objectives. Gateway Community Action Partnership, a non-profit serving Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Counties, will leverage this funding to advance breastfeeding peer counseling initiatives and enhance educational services for low-income families participating in the WIC program.
