Overview

The NSLP Equipment Assistance Grant, provided by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, aims to support Illinois schools in acquiring essential equipment for the National School Lunch Program. With grants up to $25,000, eligible School Food Authorities can purchase or refurbish equipment to enhance meal quality, ensure food safety, and promote healthier eating habits. This initiative is vital for improving school meal programs and increasing access to nutritious options for students.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) provides grants to the IL State Board of Education to provide equipment assistance through competitive grants to districts/sponsors participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). Funds allocated for this program are intended to assist schools in purchasing equipment to serve healthier meals, improve food safety, and expand access.
Eligible School Food Authorities may apply for up to $25,000 to purchase or renovate/refurbish one piece of school food service equipment that is needed for National School Lunch Program / School Breakfast Program operations, which enables them to serve healthier program meals; improve food safety; and/or support expansion or establishment of the School Breakfast Program.
