cover the start-up costs for the At-Risk Afterschool Meal and Snack Program (AMSP). Funds are also available for sponsors who are currently running AMSP, but need help to increase participation.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Requests for funds can be up to $10,000 per organization. Applications are being received beginning now, through February, 2015, or until all grant funds have been expended (submit your proposal soon!).
