Purpose:

CNIP Expansion was established to encourage the purchase and consumption of healthy, California-grown fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts by nutrition benefit clients, including WIC, WIC FMNP, and SFMNP clients.

Description:

For the 2025 CNIP Expansion – WIC, WIC FMNP and SFMNP, CDFA is seeking project proposals from qualified entities to support nutrition incentive shoppers and/or to distribute nutrition incentives to shoppers using a) WIC fruit and vegetable benefits, b) WIC FMNP, and/or c) SFMNP benefits to purchase California-grown fresh fruits and vegetables at authorized Certified Farmers’ Markets. Qualified shoppers should be able to receive the incentive at the time of purchase.
