Summary of Request

Market Match is a 15-year-old program that matches CalFresh's spending dollar-for-dollar (up to a daily max) for fresh food at the local level and drives health equity and economic development in rural areas. Further, CNIP funds are matched by federal grant dollars. Since 2017, CNIP funding has brought more than $30 million in federal match funds into California from the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP).

 

The Market Match Program is currently the most extensive CNIP program, matching federal nutrition assistance benefits, like CalFresh and WIC, at farmers' markets and other California farm-direct sites. In 2022, low-income shoppers spent $19.5 million in Market Match and CalFresh programs combined at 270 participating farmers' markets across 39 counties in California. In Mendocino County, farmer's markets recorded $107,784 in market match spending in 2023. However, due to California's current budget crisis, 33.2 million of the California Nutrition Incentive Program's $35 million budget is at risk of being cut, as announced in Governor Newsom's January 2024 State budget and continued in the May Revise.
