Nutrition NOW Funding Application - Spring 2024 Round

 

Dairy MAX’s Nutrition NOW program combines resources, guidance, and grant funding to support meal and menu expansion along with student access to and acceptance of nutrient rich dairy foods. Nutrition NOW funding is generously provided by the dairy farm families in Colorado, southwest Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, New Mexico, western Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming.

• To be eligible to receive grant funding, schools listed on the application must participate in the National School Lunch program.
• Districts/Schools will be evaluated to receive grant funding based on a variety of factors including the strength of the program, enrollment, and potential for impact.
• District/Schools with low enrollment, low free/reduced enrollment, and/or high budgets may not receive their full funding request if approved.
• Only proposals that promote dairy sales in school meals will be considered.
• When a grant is approved, it is essential that the grantee also accept terms in conditions set forth in the Dairy MAX “letter of agreement.”

 

From mobile carts and coolers to transport meals to the classroom, to insulated bags with cup holders to serve delicious yogurt smoothies, Nutrition NOW funding can help your district ensure that all students have access to the nutrition they need.
