Or. Admin. Code § 581-017-0723 - Competitive Oregon Farm-to-School Grant for Reimbursement of Oregon Foods: Funding
(1) The Oregon
Department of Education will award competitive Oregon Farm-to-School grant for
reimbursement of Oregon foods for each biennium. If funding is available,
additional competitive grants will be awarded in subsequent biennia.
(2) An eligible entity which receives a
competitive Oregon Farm-to-School grant for reimbursement of Oregon foods:
(a) May reserve up to twenty-five percent of
the total amount awarded for all reasonable costs incurred:
(A) Growing, harvesting, processing,
packaging, sourcing, or transporting food produced or processed in the State of
Oregon, including but not limited to purchasing supplies, infrastructure, labor
costs, and mileage; and
(B)
Developing or sustaining successful efforts to purchase or promote foods
produced or processed in the State of Oregon.
(b) May not use more than ten percent of
their total award for any direct administrative costs, including administrative
labor and supplies.
(3)
The purchase of certain foods produced or processed in the State of Oregon may
not be supplanted with grant funds. The Oregon Department of Education shall
develop and publish a list of those foods. Recipients of a competitive Oregon
Farm-to-School grant for reimbursement of Oregon foods may not use their grants
to supplant purchases of foods produced or processed in the State of Oregon
that are included on the current list of ineligible foods published by the
department.
(4) Recipients of a
competitive Oregon Farm-to-School Program procurement grant must deposit the
grant funds they receive in an account that is separate from their nonprofit
food service account, or assign those funds a separate account or index
number.
(5) The Oregon Department
of Education may reallocate competitive Oregon Farm-to-School grant for
reimbursement of Oregon foods funds to other eligible entities if grant funds
either remain after awards are made or become unobligated, or if a grant
recipient is not making adequate progress towards spending all of its grant
award during the biennium in which the award was made.
(6) Grant funds awarded for use in one
biennium may not be carried over to the following biennium, and will revert to
the Oregon Department of Education at the end of the biennium, unless otherwise
determined by the department.
