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.
Because of this change in federal funding, Extension is currently winding down SNAP-Ed-funded programming. FoodWIse programming will continue through September 30, 2025, with staff winding down between October 1st and December 1st, 2025.

We know you may have questions. You can find answers to common questions on our state FoodWIse webpage. 

Extension will continue the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) in Dane, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Racine, Rock, and Waukesha counties, which have been identified as ENFEP priority areas in partnership with the National Institute of Agriculture (NIFA). You can learn more about our EFNEP programming here.
