Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FNS CN FY22 SBPTER
The School Breakfast Program Expansion-Territories opportunity is a competitive grant program run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), under authority in Section 23 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1793), as updated by the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. The main goal is to help U.S. Territories increase access to school breakfast by supporting schools that want to start a breakfast program, keep an existing one running, or expand the way breakfast is delivered to students.
This funding is specifically set aside for the U.S. Territories: the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa. For FY 2022, USDA made a total of $2.8 million available for awards across these territories. The program is aimed at expanding the federally supported School Breakfast Program (SBP), but it also allows support for other school breakfast models provided by a school or a territory, as long as the intent is to increase breakfast service to students.
A key feature of this grant is that funding is structured at the school level, with grants not to exceed $10,000 per school year for each qualifying school supported through the territory applicant. For the purposes of this opportunity, every school located in a U.S. Territory is automatically treated as a qualifying school, which removes the need for additional eligibility screening at the school level. In practice, that means the territory education or nutrition agency can focus its proposal on where the need is greatest and how it will use modest, targeted grants to grow breakfast participation and reach more students.
The SBP itself is a long-standing federal meal program established in 1966, designed to support schools and certain residential childcare institutions that serve breakfasts to nutritionally needy children. It functions in a similar way to the National School Lunch Program, using federal assistance to help cover the cost of meals that meet program nutrition standards. This grant opportunity is meant to strengthen that system in territories by helping address common barriers to breakfast access, such as limited equipment, service models that do not fit the school schedule, or the need for operational support when launching or scaling breakfast service. Territories that do not operate the standard SBP but provide an alternate school breakfast program are also eligible to apply, which is intended to accommodate local program structures while still advancing the same goal of getting more students a reliable morning meal.
From the posted opportunity details, this is a discretionary grant (not formula-based), using the grant funding instrument, with CFDA/Assistance Listing number 10.579 under the food and nutrition activity category. USDA anticipated making awards to five recipients, aligning with the five eligible territories. The funding opportunity number is USDA FNS CN FY22 SBPTER, it was created April 14, 2022, and the original application closing date was July 13, 2022.Apply for USDA FNS CN FY22 SBPTER
