Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The proposed large-scale, GusNIP program, strengthening Double Up Food Bucks utilization in Iowa (I-DUFB) fully aligns with GusNIP's goal to increase the purchase of fruits and vegetables by low-income consumers participating in SNAP by providing incentives at the point of purchase.
To increase the purchase of fruits and vegetables by SNAP participants, I-DUFB will provide SNAP participants with a dollar-for-dollar match incentive, up to $15 per visit for fresh fruits and vegetables purchased at the point of sale at 96 participating locations including Iowa farmers' markets/stands, and retail grocery stores.
I-DUFB aims to address Iowa's SNAP participants' barriers to purchasing/consuming fruits and vegetables by providing the financial incentive to purchase more fruits and vegetables using innovative incentive redemption, engaging with independent grocers to increase access to culturally relevant produce, and enhancing outreach and education through the creation of a food navigator program.
