The FMNP is administered through a federal/State partnership in which the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) awards cash grants to States, U. S. Territories and federally recognized Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs) to provide low-income women, infants and children with coupons that can be exchanged for eligible foods at farmers? markets, and roadside stands.
As a prerequisite to receiving federal funds for the FMNP, each applying or participating State agency must submit a State Plan of Operations describing the manner in which the State agency intends to implement, operate and administer all aspects of the FMNP within its jurisdiction.
Congress provides funds for the FMNP.
Federal funds support 100 percent of the food costs of the program.
Federal funds also support 70 percent of the administrative cost of the program.
States operating the FMNP must match the federal administrative funds allocated to them for administrative costs by contributing at least 30 percent of the administrative cost of the program.
A State agency?s administrative costs under the FMNP may not exceed 17 percent of its total FMNP costs.
ITOs may provide a lower match, but not less than 10 percent of the administrative cost of the program.
The matching funds can come from a variety of sources, such as State or local funds, private funds, similar programs, or program income.
Federal FMNP benefits (coupons) may be issued only to participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) or to persons who are on a waiting list to receive WIC benefits.
These coupons can be used to buy eligible foods from farmers, farmers' markets or roadside stands that have been approved by the State agency to accept FMNP coupons.
The federal FMNP benefit level, whether a household or individual, may not be less than $10 and no more than $30 per year, per recipient.
However, State agencies may supplement the federal benefit level with State, local or private funds.
Each State agency desiring to administer the FMNP shall annually submit a State Plan of Operations and enter into a written agreement with FNS for administration of the Program in the jurisdiction of the State agency.
New State agencies are selected based on the availability of funds, after base grants, for currently participating State agencies.
Local FMNP agencies are selected by participating State agencies based on concentration of eligible WIC participants and access to farmers' markets.
Women, infants (over 4 months old) and children that have been certified to receive WIC program benefits, or who are on a waiting list for WIC certification, are eligible to participate in the FMNP. State agencies may serve some or all of these categories.
A signed Federal/State Agreement (FNS-339) is necessary before funds can be allocated to a participating FMNP State agency. Costs will be determined in accordance with FNS guidelines and instructions. 2 CFR 200, Subpart E - Cost Principles applies to this program.

The State agency is responsible for the fiscal management of, and accountability for, FMNP-related activities for farmers, farmers? markets and roadside stands. Each State agency may decide whether to authorize farmers individually, farmers? markets, roadside stands, or all of the above. All contracts or agreements entered into by the State agency for the management or operation of farmers, farmers? markets and roadside stands shall conform with the requirements of 7 CFR part 3016, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments. Only farmers, farmers? markets and roadside stands authorized by the State agency may redeem FMNP coupons. Only farmers authorized by the State agency or that have a valid agreement with an authorized farmers? market may redeem coupons. The State agency contacts the farmer/farmers' market to inform them of qualification. Individual participants apply for FMNP benefits at approved local WIC agencies.
Funds are awarded by the Department on the basis of funding formulas to State agencies. If the available funds are insufficient to meet the base grant levels for current FMNP grantees, a pro-rata reduction will be applied to the grant levels awarded to all participating FMNP State agencies. If additional funds become available for the FMNP, such funds would first be distributed evenly among the current grantees to make whole their base grants for that fiscal year. Grant payments are made by a letter of credit.
