View change
New Future Growers funding section added
The Power Full Kids at school page now shows a new Power Full Kids | Future Growers section tied to Power Full Kids | Grow & Cook, expanding the program’s school-facing funding options. The new section adds eligibility rules that require a current Eat Well participant and bar schools from receiving the same funding within the same calendar year, while also introducing EFT submission documents and a receipt requirement for reporting. The page navigation also now includes Future Growers, which broadens the program’s scope beyond the previously listed Eat Well, Equipment Fund, and Grow & Cook sections. The existing Eat Well timeline reference for the 2026-2027 cycle and the June 30 final report deadline remain visible in the updated content.
