About this file
The document is a Match Letter Template for the FY2026 Farm to School Grant Program, designed to demonstrate matching fund commitments for grant applications. The template requires organizations to commit a minimum of 25% matching funds (cash or in-kind contributions) for their proposed project, with specific details including the total matching dollar amount, source of match, and how the calculation was derived.
The matching letter is part of the Farm to School Grant Program (CFDA 10.575), administered by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, which supports initiatives to improve local food access in child nutrition programs. The grant opportunity offers three tracks - Implementation Grants (up to $500,000), State Agency Grants (up to $500,000), and Turnkey Grants (up to $50,000) - targeting school districts, tribal organizations, agricultural producers, and non-profit entities. The application deadline is January 10, 2025, with potential project periods running from July 2024 to June 2026, and grants focused on activities such as local food procurement, agricultural education, and developing school gardens.
