This document is a template for a Letter of Commitment from a Child Nutrition Program (CNP) Operator to support an applicant's proposal for the FY 2025 Farm to School Implementation Grant.

The Farm to School Implementation Grant is a competitive federal grant program administered by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. The grant aims to improve access to local foods in eligible CNP sites through farm to school programming that includes local sourcing and agricultural education. Eligible applicants include schools, tribes, non-profits, and local agencies that operate CNPs such as the National School Lunch Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, Summer Food Service Program, and/or School Breakfast Program. The grant awards projects up to $500,000 for 24 months, requiring a minimum 25% match from the applicant. This letter template indicates the CNP operator's commitment to serve as a program implementation partner for the applicant's project.
