Description

Up to $8 million is available for the CACFP Child Care Wellness Grants. Through a competitive process, CACFP Child Care Wellness Grants will be funded for a period of two to three years after award distribution. We anticipate individual grant awards to be between $100,000 and $1,000,000 though we will consider request for other amounts, if justified. The submission of an application does not guarantee funding.Funding approved for CACFP Child Care Wellness Grants will be provided through a Grant Award/Letter of Credit process, in the same manner as other federal funds, upon receipt of a properly executed Grant Agreement and subject to the availability of funding. All CACFP Child Care Wellness Grant funds must be obligated and all activities under the Grant must be completed within two to three years after distribution of grant funding. States may designate a two or three year grant period based on proposal complexity and award amount.
