About this file
This document contains a budget template and instructions for a federal grant opportunity through the USDA Food and Nutrition Service to support the use of traditional indigenous foods in child nutrition programs. Up to four grant awards of $500,000 each will be made to organizations led by members of federally recognized tribes or Native Hawaiians to provide tailored training and technical assistance to school food authorities serving tribal communities. Funds may be used to develop culturally relevant nutrition education materials and recipes incorporating traditional indigenous foods and to train school nutrition professionals. Anticipated outcomes include increased understanding of barriers to offering traditional foods, engagement of tribal communities, new procurement relationships and resources for traditional indigenous foods, and inclusion of these foods in child nutrition program meals. The federal grant program is the School Nutrition Training Grant for Allied Professional Organizations through the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, with a CFDA number of 10.532. Applications should be aligned with goals of increasing understanding and inclusion of traditional indigenous foods in child nutrition programs.
