Qualifying and Applying

Becoming an ASMP Sponsor

ASMP Sponsors handle administrative and financial oversight of the program. Public and private nonprofit organizations that have the ability to manage a food service program, such as schools, faith-based organizations, municipal parks, food banks, Boys and Girls Clubs, and local government agencies, are eligible to become sponsors.

Becoming an ASMP Site

There are many different community locations that can serve as an ASMP site such as schools, community centers, and libraries. In general, each site must show that the site is located in an area of economic need. Opening an ASMP site under an existing sponsor may be easier than you think.

Eligibility Requirements: Area ASMP
