About this opportunity
The FY 2024 SNAP Process and Technology Improvement Grant is a federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. The grant aims to support efforts by state agencies and their community partners to develop and implement technology-driven projects that improve the quality and efficiency of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) application and eligibility determination processes. Key objectives include modernizing SNAP customer service and communication, improving administrative infrastructure and operations, and encouraging cross-collaboration between SNAP and other assistance programs. Applicants must map proposed activities and success indicators to at least one of these three objectives. The evaluation criteria will assess the applicant's accounting systems, financial management capabilities, and ability to properly administer federal grant funds.
The total available funding is up to $5 million, with individual awards not to exceed $2 million. The period of performance will be from September 1, 2024 through September 30, 2027. Eligible applicants include state governments, local governments, tribal governments, non-profit organizations, and for-profit entities. Applications are due by June 18, 2024, and award announcements are anticipated in August 2024.

As noted in Section 4, applicants must map their proposed activities and indicators measuring success to the objective(s) using the "Activities/Indicators Tracker." If awarded, grantees will be required to use the FNS-908 Performance Progress Report to report on progress towards activities that align with the required objective(s) listed on the "Activities/Indicators Tracker."

A PTIG project may assist State agencies in making investments in systems to improve efficiency, provide excellent customer service, and meet Federal standards as they face unprecedented operational challenges. FNS welcomes other projects that support these objectives and encourages applicants to propose innovative ideas to solve both common and unique problems associated with SNAP application and eligibility processes.
1. Modernize SNAP customer service and client communication to improve accessibility, transparency, and responsiveness in processing applications and determining eligibility.
2. Improve administrative infrastructure and day-to-day SNAP operations in processing applications and determining eligibility.
