FY 2026 FDPIR Nutrition Education

The Farm to School Grant Program is a grant from the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) that funds efforts to connect schools and childcare centers with locally and regionally produced foods while supporting food and agricultural education activities. Eligible applicants include state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, city and township governments, county governments, independent school districts, and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status. Projects can cover training, facility improvement, supply chain development, and curriculum development. The program supports the FY 2026 funding cycle and is designed to improve access to nutritious local food in school meal programs nationwide.

Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations is sponsored by Department of Agriculture. The Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) is a nutrition assistance program that may be operated at the request of a Tribe or Indian Tribal Organization (ITO) on an Indian reservation, approved areas near a reservation, or approved service areas in Oklahoma. Income-eligible households receive a supplemental monthly food package and nutrition education. Households may not participate in FDPIR and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) simultaneously in the same month. In FY 2024, 107 ITOs and three State agencies (SAs) administered the program on approximately 280 Indian reservations, pueblos, rancherias, and Alaska Native Villages. All participating ITOs and SAs receive administrative funding for costs incurred in the operation of the program. Beginning in FY 2022, $4 million of the administrative funds line item is dedicated to be disseminated to FDPIR ITOs for nutrition related activities that promote healthy choices through the use of USDA Foods and physical activity among FDPIR participants Nutrition assistance and food packages were provided to an average of 49.6 thousand persons per month (FY 2023).
