Working with our public, private and non-profit partners, our mission is to increase food security and reduce hunger by providing children and low-income people access to food, a healthful diet and nutrition education in a way that supports American agriculture and inspires public confidence.
The Process and Technology Improvement Grants (PTIGs) for Fiscal Year 2024 are designed to support state agencies and both community-based and faith-based partners in their efforts to enhance the quality and efficiency of SNAP application and eligibility determination systems. This initiative emphasizes the development and implementation of technology-driven projects that simplify these processes, aiming to make it easier for individuals and families to access SNAP benefits. The grant program authorizes FNS to distribute up to $5 million in funding, with individual applicants able to seek up to $2 million. Eligibility for the grants extends to a wide range of entities, including State agencies managing SNAP, local governments, health and welfare service agencies, educational entities, and private nonprofit organizations such as food banks and other emergency feeding services.
