Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA TEFAPRR 2022

USDA TEFAP Reach and Resiliency 2022 is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to strengthen and broaden The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). The central purpose of this funding is to help TEFAP reach people and communities that are currently underserved, with a particular focus on remote, rural, Tribal, and low-income areas. The program is designed to push TEFAP beyond its existing footprint by encouraging states to rethink and improve how emergency food assistance is delivered, including how food and services get to places where distance, limited infrastructure, or gaps in local partnerships have made access difficult.

Funding under this opportunity is available only to TEFAP State agencies (state and eligible territory governments), and awards are made through a competitive application process rather than by formula. In total, USDA is making $50 million available nationwide for this round of funding, with an expected 54 awards. Individual awards can be as large as $5,009,485, giving states room to pursue sizable projects that meaningfully improve capacity and coverage. The activity category is listed broadly as "Other," reflecting that projects may vary widely as long as they align with TEFAP reach and resiliency goals and fit within the allowable uses described in the official Request for Applications (RFA).

The grant is intended to support practical, on-the-ground improvements that expand access and build stronger, more resilient food distribution networks. A key theme is partnership: state TEFAP agencies are encouraged to work with organizations already involved in TEFAP as well as bring in new partner organizations that can help extend service to overlooked populations. This could include collaborations that improve last-mile distribution, strengthen logistics, increase capacity among local providers, or address barriers that prevent eligible households from consistently accessing TEFAP foods. While the summary materials point applicants to the RFA for specific allowable costs and project types, the overall intent is clear: states should use the funding to redesign and reinforce their TEFAP distribution strategies so that underserved communities are reached more reliably and equitably.

The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "USDA TEFAPRR 2022" and is associated with CFDA number 10.568 (TEFAP). The notice was created on December 6, 2021, and the original application deadline was February 4, 2022. Applicants are directed to the RFA for the full set of application requirements, selection criteria, and the detailed description of how funds may be used, since those details ultimately govern what activities can be funded and what must be included in a competitive submission.
