About
Organizations not currently funded in FY 2025 by SNAP-Ed at Michigan Fitness Foundation (MFF) that are interested in implementing a Community Impact Project in FY 2026 (October 1, 2025-September 30, 2026) must apply by submitting a Letter of Qualification and the New Community Impact Projects Application in the Submit Application(Click link to open section) tab.
The application solicits responses from Michigan-based organizations to deliver a coordinated Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) program, as directed by MFF. 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 Community Impact Project contractor criteria and successfully complete a SNAP-Ed program design process overseen by MFF will be funded in alignment with anticipated programming and based on the availability of funds.
Funding as a Community Impact Project is for organizations that:
- Engage with SNAP-Ed audiences in settings where SNAP-Ed audiences live, learn, eat, play, work, and shop. (See FY25 CIP Service Provider Guide (Links to PDF in new window or right click to download) for details.)
- Are interested being a contracted service provider to deliver in SNAP-Ed programming, as directed by MFF, including a locally-relevant program package with direct education and community-based strategy 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
