Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FNS F2S FY20 REGINST
The Regional Farm to School Institute Grants opportunity (USDA FNS F2S FY20 REGINST) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service (USDA FNS) to strengthen and expand farm to school efforts through structured training, practical education, and hands-on support. The core purpose is to help organizations develop and share high-quality, usable resources about building and improving farm to school programs, while also providing direct practitioner learning opportunities and continued guidance during the school year. The program is positioned as a one-time initiative, meaning applicants should approach it as a single, time-limited chance to build capacity and produce deliverables that can continue to benefit the field after the grant period ends.
Grant funding is designed to support several connected activities. First, it emphasizes creating and disseminating information on farm to school program development, which can include tools, curricula, templates, guides, or other materials that help schools and community partners start or enhance programs. Second, it prioritizes practitioner education and training, suggesting a focus on helping people who implement farm to school work on the ground (such as school nutrition professionals, educators, district staff, farmers, and community partners) gain practical skills and knowledge. Third, it supports ongoing coaching and technical assistance throughout the school year, indicating that the initiative is not just a one-time workshop model but includes follow-up support that helps participants troubleshoot barriers, apply what they learned, and sustain implementation over time.
The opportunity falls under the Food and Nutrition funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 10.575. Awards are capped at an award ceiling of $100,000 per grant, and USDA anticipated making two awards under this competition. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, specifically excluding institutions of higher education from eligibility under this listing. The funding instrument type is a grant.
Key administrative details from the posting include a creation date of October 22, 2019, and an original application closing date of December 27, 2019. While those dates reflect the FY20 competition window, they also help signal the context: this was structured as a targeted, limited award cycle rather than an open-ended or continuously recurring program.Apply for USDA FNS F2S FY20 REGINST
