About this file
The document is an Optional Priority Group Declaration Checklist that provides applicants the opportunity to claim bonus priority points for their project under the FY 2025 Farm to School State Agency Grant. The checklist covers racial equity priorities, such as being an organization led and/or staffed by people of color, as well as organization type priorities, including serving at least 40% children eligible for free or reduced-price meals and being a small- to medium-sized agricultural producer. Applicants can receive up to 10 bonus priority points for meeting these criteria. The checklist must be submitted with the grant application to be considered for the priority points. The related federal grant opportunity is the FY2025 Farm to School State Agency Grant, which provides funding of up to $500,000 for 24-month projects to State agencies to support and grow farm to child nutrition program efforts. The grant is part of the Farm to School Grant Program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service.

Appendix B: Optional Priority Group Declaration Checklist (Bonus Points) If your project reaches one or more priority groups and you would like to be considered for bonus priority points, please fill out this checklist and include it with your application submission.
Applicants that do not submit the completed checklist with their application will not receive bonus points. Applicants should include the Priority Declaration Checklist as its own page or as a separate attachment to ensure full credit.
An applicant reaching any of the racial equity priorities is eligible for seven bonus points. More than one racial equity priority may apply to the applicant’s project, and applicants are encouraged to check multiple, but only seven bonus points will be awarded regardless of how many racial equity priorities are selected. Applicants will receive one priority point for each organization type priority their project satisfies. The maximum number of bonus priority points awarded shall not exceed ten (10) points.
Please check all the priority group(s) that your project will serve and for which you would like to identify for priority consideration If USDA is unable to verify that an applicant is eligible for any priority groups claimed below, the applicant may not be permitted to qualify for priority consideration.
