FY 2026 WIC Infrastructure Grant

The FY 2026 WIC Infrastructure Grant is a funding opportunity for State agencies to support the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). The grant aims to promote program integrity, create opportunities to connect WIC to farmers' markets, and modernize information technology systems. State agencies can apply individually or as part of a consortium, and the maximum award amount is $3,000,000 for individual State agencies and $1,000,000 for consortia. The grant will support activities such as improving methods for detection of dual participation, implementing new eSolutions, and updating WIC MIS and/or WIC Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) systems. Some key points to consider: • The grant has three objectives: Promoting Program Integrity to Minimize Waste, Fraud, and Abuse, Creating Opportunities to Connect America’s Farmers to WIC, and Developing and Implementing Modernized Technology. • State agencies can apply for one or more of these objectives, and consortia can only apply for objective 3. • The grant period is 24 months, and the anticipated award announcement date is August 2026. • The application due date is July 13, 2026, and late submissions will not be considered. • The grant is subject to the availability of funding and/or appropriations of funds.
