About
Organizations not currently funded in FY 2022 by SNAP-Ed at MFF that are interested in becoming a Local Implementing Agency (LIA) – Community Impact Project in FY 2023 (October 1, 2022 – September 30, 2023) must apply by submitting a Letter of Qualification and the New Community Impact Projects Application in the Submit Application(Click link to open section) section.
The application solicits responses from eligible Michigan-based organizations to implement a coordinated Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) program. The focus of SNAP-Ed at MFF is to increase healthy behaviors and improve policies, systems, and environments that impact access to affordable healthy food and safe opportunities to be active.
Applicants that meet eligibility criteria and successfully move through a collaborative SNAP-Ed program design process with MFF will be funded in alignment with anticipated programming and based on the availability of funds.
Funding as a LIA – Community Impact Project is a good fit for organizations that:
- Work with eligible populations in eligible settings (See Community Impact Project Backgrounder (Links to PDF in new window or right click to download) for details)
- Are interested in collaborating with MFF to design a locally-relevant packaged program of direct education and PSE change work that aligns with the defined population(s) needs and setting(s)
- May have limited capacity to meet the requirements of being a federal grant subrecipient administratively or programmatically
