WIC National Infrastructure Project Grant Summary

The Department of Public Health Connecticut received a $164,400 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service under the WIC Grants to States program (CFDA 10.578) awarded on September 30, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2027. This funding supports WIC National Infrastructure improvements designed to enhance the delivery of benefits and services under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). The grant aligns with the federal WIC Infrastructure Grants initiative, which funds state agency projects that improve program access and customer experience through modernization initiatives.

The Connecticut Department of Public Health will utilize this funding to advance WIC program infrastructure, which may encompass technological modernization, equipment upgrades, or other infrastructure enhancements consistent with WIC Grants to States program objectives. As a state health department administering the WIC program, Connecticut is an eligible applicant for such infrastructure funding, and the two-year performance period allows for comprehensive project planning, approval, and implementation in accordance with required federal documentation and approval processes.
