The Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP-NI) provides funding to projects that encourage people who receive food assistance benefits, like SNAP, to buy more fruits and vegetables. This program is available in all U.S. states and territories and aims to make healthy food more accessible by offering incentives at the point of purchase.
