Funders Briefing: Summer EBT Federal Program for Students and School Meal Applications

Summer EBT was created through legislation in December 2022 and states were given the option of launching the program in either the Summer of 2024 or 2025 or passing on the program altogether. This program provides $40 per month, every summer month, to every school age child that qualifies for free/reduced price meals. Hear from Mark Dinglasan, Executive Director, NJ Office of the Food Security Advocate (OFSA) and Nefeli Mourti, Senior Director, Social Strategy Associates to learn more about the data-sharing, outreach, and collaboration with the departments of Agriculture, Human Services, and Education to create this program.

The outreach committee has developed a Summer EBT tool kit which you can view here.

Cost: Free for CNJG Members; $50 for Non Member Grantmakers
