The Idaho Diabetes Prevention & Control (DPC) Program and the Idaho Heart Disease & Stroke Prevention (HDSP) Program periodically provide funding opportunities and highlights educational opportunities for providers and partners interested in preventing and managing chronic diseases.
The Idaho Diabetes Prevention & Control (DPC) Program is accepting applications from qualified organizations to support the expansion of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Electronic Benefits Transfer (SNAP EBT) and Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) programs at Idaho farmers markets. The SNAP EBT program allows participants to use their SNAP benefit cards to purchase healthy foods at participating farmers markets. The DUFB program doubles the value of SNAP benefits spent (up to a pre-determined amount), helping SNAP recipients buy more fruits and vegetables while supporting local farmers. The purpose of this subgrant is to address food insecurity in Idaho by increasing the number of farmers markets that accept SNAP EBT and implementing the DUFB program.
The Idaho DPC Program plans to fund one (1) organization under this announcement, up to $33,000, with an estimated start date of March 27, 2025 and ending May 31, 2025. Factors determining funding amount include performance, application strength, and funding availability. The final funding amount will be negotiated between the Department and the organization.
