Synopsis
The Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (the Act), Section 23 (42 U.S.C. 1793), as amended by Section 105 of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-296), authorizes funds to provide grants on a competitive basis to State agencies. An amount of $6 million is available for award to State agencies within U.S. States and the District of Columbia to expand the School Breakfast Program (SBP).
The purpose of the SBP expansion grants is to provide subgrants to local educational agencies (LEAs), not to exceed $10,000 per qualifying school or group of qualifying schools per school year, to establish, maintain, or expand the SBP. As defined in Section 4(d)(1) of the Act, the term "qualifying school" means a school in severe need. This includes only schools (having an SBP or desiring to initiate an SBP) in which 40 percent or more of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) lunches served to students at the school were served free or at a reduced price.
The SBP is a federally assisted meal program that was established in 1966. It provides categorical grants to assist public and nonprofit private schools and residential childcare institutions that serve breakfasts to "nutritionally needy" children. The SBP operates in the same manner as the NSLP. This is a new RFA and a FY 2023 opportunity. Agencies representing U.S. Territories are directed to apply for this grant under a separate RFA, titled "Child Nutrition School Breakfast Program Expansion Grant for U.S. Territories" and available on Grants.gov.
