Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FNS 2025 F2S STATEAGENCY
The FY 2025 Farm to School State Agency Grant, part of the Patrick Leahy Farm to School Grant Program, provides funding to State agencies to increase the availability of local foods in schools and promote agricultural education. The goal is to strengthen farm-to-school initiatives by supporting activities such as local food sourcing, school gardens, taste tests, and farm-related education.
This grant offers up to $500,000 in funding for projects lasting 24 months. Applicants must provide at least 25% of the total project budget through cash or in-kind contributions. Only State agencies are eligible to apply. Eligible State agencies include any statewide government entity that administers or works in partnership with an agency overseeing Federal Child Nutrition Programs (CNPs) such as the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or School Breakfast Program (SBP). If an applying agency does not directly manage these programs, they must submit a letter of commitment from the relevant administering agency.
Local government agencies, including city and county governments, are ineligible. Applicants may only submit one proposal across the three FY 2025 Patrick Leahy Farm to School Grant tracks (Implementation, Turnkey, or State Agency). If multiple applications are submitted, all will be disqualified.
Additional details on eligibility and application requirements are outlined in the RFA, with upcoming informational webinars scheduled for November 5 and 6. Interested State agencies should review the RFA and related documents on Grants.gov for further guidance.Apply for USDA FNS 2025 F2S STATEAGENCY
