The California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Office of Farm to Fork (CDFA-F2F) announces that applications are being accepted until October 11 for the California Nutrition Incentive Program (CNIP) 2025 round of competitive grant funding. 

CDFA’s CNIP provides competitive grant funding to organizations to provide incentives to nutrition-benefit shoppers, and also to support program operations and outreach. For this request, CDFA-F2F is seeking project proposals from qualified entities to distribute incentives at Certified Farmers’ Markets, Community Supported Agriculture sites, farm stands, and brick and mortar retailers throughout California. Incentives should be available to shoppers using CalFresh benefits to purchase California-grown fresh fruits and vegetables.
