Hello Oregon Farm to CNP Reimbursement Grant Sponsor!

Thank you for all you have done this year on the front lines of keeping Oregon communities healthy and kids nourished. We extend our most sincere gratitude for making the time to complete this year-end report. The information you provide is vital. 

Using the information you are about to provide, the Oregon State Legislature considers whether or not to fund the ODE Farm to CNP Grant program each biennium. Your accurate and thoughtful responses to these questions play a crucial role in that decision process, and largely determines the amount of funding, if any, you will have available to purchase Oregon foods and/or provide garden and nutrition education in the coming school years. 

Additionally, among the goals of the ODE Farm to CNP team is to administer the grant in a way that takes into consideration the opinions and ideas of those we serve. Your honest feedback and specific suggestions give us that opportunity. 

Thank you in advance for making the time to provide this critical information.

As a reminder, this final report is mandatory, and required of all sponsors that participate in the ODE Farm to CNP Non Competitive and Competitive Reimbursement Grants for Oregon Grown or Processed food. The survey should take about 30 minutes to complete. It may be helpful for you to review your progress report data from 2021-2022. To request an additional copy of this data please contact the ODE Farm to CNP team at farmtoCNP@ode.oregon.gov

REMINDER: This report is due September 30, 2023. After this due date, you will not be able to submit future reimbursement claims or receive additional funding until this report is submitted.
