## Objectives

The purpose of the Child Nutrition Non-Competitive Technology Innovation Grants (nTIG) is to allow State agencies that administer the Child Nutrition Programs (CNPs) to apply for grant funding for the purposes of developing, improving, and maintaining automated information technology systems used to operate and manage Child Nutrition (CN) Programs (i.e., National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)).
The FY 2024 Summer EBT Technology Grants are awarded non-competitively through an equitable allocation to all Summer EBT coordinating agencies, Summer EBT agencies that implemented Summer-EBT in Summer 2024 and plan to continue the program in Summer 2025 as well as those who plan to newly implement in Summer 2025.
