Funding Opportunity Summary

The Board of Regents, Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE), University of Nevada Reno (UNR), in partnership with the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Division of Welfare and Supportive Services (DWSS), invites local organizations that prioritize authentic community engagement, centering Nevadans’ voices, and cultural competence to apply for subgrants to implement the Nevada Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (Nevada SNAP-Ed) State Plan. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is being facilitated by UNR with the intent of the selected organizations to enter into a subaward agreement directly with UNR and administration from DWSS. The current Nevada SNAP-Ed program operates on a three-year State Plan, spanning three federal fiscal years: FFY24, FFY25, and FFY26 (October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2026) as approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) in accordance with Federal Guidance.
Full Budget Timeline: Funding for Nevada SNAP-Ed program implementation is reviewed, evaluated, and, if necessary, amended annually. Annual funding is contingent on the performance and annual evaluation of Implementing Organizations and on availability of Federal funds.

Pre-Award Costs: This grant does not allow reimbursement of any pre-award costs, such as printing of the application, mailing costs, or staff time spent reading related documents or writing an application.
NOFO Coordinator: Macy Helm, UNR Nutrition Education Programs Sr. Coordinator, mhelm@unr.edu. Direct all communication, including questions, complaints, or requests for assistance to SNAPED@unr.edu with “FFY26 SNAP-Ed NOFO” in the subject line.
