FoodWIse Program
Important Update
The congressional budget reconciliation bill signed into law on July 4, 2025 ends federal SNAP-Ed funding effective September 30, 2025.
For more than 30 years, UW–Madison Extension has provided local nutrition education across Wisconsin through the federal SNAP-Ed grant program. Working with schools, food pantries, farmers markets, and community centers, FoodWIse has taught practical, evidence-based skills in meal planning, food safety, and food resource management, helping people stretch food dollars and make healthier choices.
FoodWIse has always been about more than just nutrition education. It’s about empowering communities to thrive. SNAP-Ed has helped make Wisconsin healthier, and we are proud of the work we’ve done and the lives we’ve impacted. Thank you for supporting our staff, our programs, and our mission.
We know you may have questions. You can find answers to common questions on our state FoodWIse webpage.
