ODE Farm to CNP Reimbursement Grant New Grantee Baseline Report 2023-2025

Hello Oregon Farm to CNP Reimbursement Grant Grantee!

Thank you for taking the time to complete this new grantee baseline data report. The information you are about to provide is compared to data collected at the middle and end of the Grant cycle. Using this data, 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.

We realize you may not have been tracking all the data we are asking you to provide. Please do your best to answer as completely as possible.

As a reminder, this baseline report is mandatory and required of all sponsors that participate in the ODE Farm to CNP Reimbursement Grant for Oregon Grown or Processed food. The report should take less than 30 minutes to complete. If you have any questions please contact the ODE Farm to CNP team at FarmtoCNP@ode.oregon.gov
