These grants were made through the Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive (FINI) program authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill.<\/p>\n<p>The USDA is funding projects in 26 states for up to 4 years, using funds from FY2014 and FY2015. \u00a0The California projects are as follows:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pilot projects<\/strong> (up to $100,000, not to exceed 1 year):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yolo County Department of Employment and Social Services, Woodland, Calif., $100,000 for &#8220;Bonus Bucks&#8221; program in cooperation with local grocers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Multi-year community-based projects<\/strong> (up to $500,000, not to exceed 4 years):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mandela Marketplace, Inc., Oakland, Calif., $422,500 for an online direct-to-consumer incentive program at SNAP-authorized retailers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Multi-year large-scale projects<\/strong> ($500,000 or greater, not to exceed 4 years):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ecology Center, Berkeley, Calif., $3,704,287 for dollar-to-dollar matching of SNAP benefits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are descriptions of all the\u00a0<a title=\"Opens in new window.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nifa.usda.gov\/resource\/usda-awards-31-million-grants-help-snap-participants-afford-healthy-foods\" target=\"extWindow\">funded projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>All FINI projects must (1) have the support of a state SNAP agency; (2) increase the purchase of fruits and vegetables by SNAP participants by providing incentives at the point of purchase; (3) operate through authorized SNAP retailers; (4) agree to participate in the comprehensive FINI program evaluation; (5) ensure that the same terms and conditions apply to purchases made by both SNAP participants and non-participants; and (6) include effective and efficient technologies for benefit redemption systems that may be replicated in other states and communities.<\/p>\n<p><a
