SNAP Fraud Framework Implementation Grant Award Summary

On September 30, 2025, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded a $339,695 Project Grant under the SNAP Fraud Framework Implementation Grant Program (CFDA 10.535) to Vsdb Foundation in Staunton, Virginia. The award supports a three-year implementation period through September 30, 2028, and funds comprehensive fraud prevention and program integrity enhancement initiatives within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The grant enables Vsdb Foundation to develop and implement organizational management practices, recipient integrity education projects, fraud detection and investigation processes, data analytics capabilities, and employee training programs designed to reduce fraudulent activities and improve recipient accountability within SNAP operations.

As a tax-exempt non-profit with established expertise in nutrition program administration and technology modernization, Vsdb Foundation will utilize these funds to strengthen SNAP program integrity through recipient education on eligibility fraud, benefit trafficking, and benefit misuse. The award reflects the foundation's demonstrated capacity to manage federal nutrition assistance grants, as evidenced by its concurrent receipt of approximately $25.3 million in federal grant awards focused on SNAP and child nutrition enhancements. All funds must be expended within the 36-month performance period, with detailed records maintained for a minimum of three years following the submission of final fiscal year reports.
