The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify guidance to state agencies on procedures for reviewing the nonprofit status of organizations applying to participate in the SFSP.

This memorandum clarifies how state agencies and school food authorities can use federal funds to support FoodCorps service members.
FNS administers the SFSP at the national and regional levels. Within each state, the program is administered by the state department of education or an alternate state-designated agency. Locally, public or private non-profit organizations that want to “sponsor” the program apply and are approved by the state agency to operate a site.
This memorandum supersedes SP06, SFSP06-2016: Promoting Nutrition in Summer Meals, Nov. 12, 2015.
