    Summary

    Funding is for nonrecurring expenses incurred in initiating or expanding a School Breakfast Program (SBP), serving students in kindergarten through grade twelve; or Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), serving children and youth eighteen years of age and under during school breaks.

    Allowable expenses are nonrecurring costs used when starting up or expanding an SBP or SFSP and include: 
    • Food service equipment purchases for program start-up or expansion; for example, an SFA may use awarded funds to upgrade its stove if the current stove is too small to adequately heat food or meals to serve its students;
    • Supplies or equipment needed to offer fresh fruits and vegetables or meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of Agriculture school meal pattern; for example, fruit bars, smoothie machines, blenders, fruit baskets, additional food storage, fruit and vegetable washers, etc;
    • Food service training costs related to new SBP activities; for example, vendor charges for point of sale (POS) software or vending machine training;
    • Outreach costs, including banners, paper, envelopes, and postage for flyers, or newspaper or television ads announcing the SBP or SFSP;
    • Incidental equipment installation costs in accordance with Education Code, Section 38091;
    • Computer POS systems used exclusively for food service; for example, a computer and software for each POS, printer(s), and site license. However, the renewal of a POS license is not an allowable expense;
    • Grab-and-Go equipment costs used to create remote feeding sites or areas on campus; for example, carts or kiosks, as well as one-time wiring to accommodate a POS system;
    • Vending machine costs that provide breakfast items for middle and high school levels only. Allowable vending machines must be equipped to dispense reimbursable meals, conduct POS meal counts, and prevent students from obtaining more than one reimbursable breakfast and/or lunch per day. Please note that while vending machines equipped to dispense reimbursable meals may be allowable purchases for middle and high school grades, the CDE does not consider their use an innovative strategy;
    • Costs for vehicles that transport food or meals to and from sites and are used solely for food services; for example, vehicle modifications that are needed for temperature control, storage, etc., are allowable expenses; and
    • Barbeque grill costs that are incurred for use at outdoor SFSP sites.

    School districts, direct-funded charter schools, and County Offices of Education may apply for one or both types of grants; however, only one type of grant may be awarded per school site. Private schools, residential child care institutions, and juvenile detention centers are not eligible to receive these funds.

    To qualify for SBP grants, at least 20 percent of enrolled students at the school site must be approved for free or reduced-price meals. 

    Deadline Details

    Applications must be submitted by March 1, 2024. A similar deadline is anticipated annually. 

    Award Details

    Approximately $1,017,000 is anticipated to be available in total funding for FY2020-21. Awards will be up to $15,000 each. Cost sharing/matching is not required.


    Recipients will receive 90 percent of the funding at the time of award with the remaining 10 percent awarded upon approval of all invoices. The CDE will recover funds from agencies that do not submit invoices for approved budget items within the award time frame.
