Eligibility Criteria

To determine if your school is eligible to apply for funding and support from the Child Nutrition Council of Manitoba, please review the information below:

  • Location:
    Programs must be located within Manitoba.

  • Population:
    Students accessing the program must be enrolled in an education program for school-age children.
    Note: Adult learning, after-school, early learning, and child care programs are not eligible.

  • Hours:
    Programs must operate during school hours at least 2 days per week. One-time events are not eligible for funding. Our funding is meant for long-term, regular nourishment.

  • Community support:
    The Child Nutrition Council of Manitoba is able to provide a portion of support to successful applicants. We encourage programs to seek school support, volunteers, sponsorships, partnerships, and/or parental involvement.

  • Universal:
    Programs must be available for any school-age student at no cost to the student regardless of perceived need.

  • Capacity:
    Programs require space, time, and commitment to offer food choices consistent with the Manitoba School Nutrition Guidelines.

Ensuring that all students have access to nutritious food choices is an important part of a supportive and positive eating environment in schools and a major priority for the Council. The Council administers grants across Manitoba for meals and snacks offered during school hours. Programs funded by the Council also receive nutrition education support from registered dietitians.
