The South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) will use a competitive process to award a total of $518,028 in equipment assistance subgrants to eligible SFAs that participate in the NSLP. The purpose of this program is to enable SFAs to serve healthier meals, improve food safety, and maintain and/or expand their School Breakfast Program (SBP).
Any SFA is eligible to receive a subgrant based on the following criteria: Age of the food service equipment or lack of appropriate items. Ability of food service equipment to increase the efficiency of SFA procurement, food storage, and distribution/service. Availability of existing state and local funding for equipment purchases.
Strategies for adopting lunchroom changes that provide more convenience and appeal to the students. Opportunities to realize meaningful impacts on nutrition and quality of meals. Any SFA may apply for a subgrant on behalf of any of its schools/sites that currently participate in the NSLP.
To request funding for more than one school, an SFA must submit a separate application for each school. Schools that received funds for equipment in the previous year are eligible to apply for additional equipment items. However, all schools must meet all reporting requirements and may be subject to a site visit prior to award.
Award amounts will be determined based on the quality of applications received and total funding requested. No subgrant will be awarded for more than $25,000; the balance for equipment costs exceeding this limit will be the responsibility of the SFA. Final budgets may be negotiated based on demonstrated needs.
All subgrant awards are contingent upon total allocations to the SCDE by the USDA.
