Description
Since 2008, FNS awards funding for nutrition education projects through Food Distribution
Program Nutrition Education (FDPNE) grants each fiscal year. Indian Tribal Organizations
(ITOs) and State agencies (SAs) that are current FDPIR allowance holders (have a direct
agreement with FNS to administer FDPIR) are eligible to apply for funds to conduct projects that
provide nutrition information and services to FDPIR participants. The FY 2017 SNAP
Education Plan Guidance is the basis for FDPNE nutrition, gardening, and physical activities. FNS selects components of this guidance for development...
of FDPNE project requirements. The FY 2017 SNAP Education Plan Guidance may be reviewed at https://snaped.fns.usda.gov/national-snap-ed/snap-ed-plan-guidance-and-templates.

Additional information
ITOs and SAs that administer FDPIR may apply individually and/or as a consortium (e.g., as a region or a regional nutrition advisory council). A current FDPIR allowance holder (i.e., an entity that has a direct agreement with FNS to administer FDPIR) must submit the application. If one or more ITOs wish to apply as a consortium, one ITO must be designated as the lead agency and apply on behalf of the other ITOs. The lead agency is responsible, fiscally and operationally, for the overall administration of the project.
