National School Lunch Program federal funding in FY2026

National School Lunch Program dollars inside FY2026

17.8% locates FY2026 inside National School Lunch Program's $157,256,775,892.61 extract when the packet nests the FY cell. A still-compact open-year file: 155 FY rows, fewer than the FY2025 lunch cell. Parent without the year: /programs/10.555/ (CFDA 10.555). Parent without the CFDA: /fiscal-years/2026/ (FY2026 federal spending). Outlays are not this field.

FY2026 figures can still move. A smaller share of the $157,256,775,892.61 lunch book is an open-year slice, not a forecast of remaining school-year reimbursements. Do not invent schools or meals. SNAP (10.551) and breakfast listings sit on other keys. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations. Correlation with cafeteria headlines is not causation.

National School Lunch Program as a catalog title beside FY2026

The official title is NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM. SpendingVault does not grade reimbursement rates. $28,059,557,215.72 is a FY2026 obligation sum, not a performance score. Mixing SNAP (10.551) and breakfast listings into $28,059,557,215.72 would invent a combined total the packet never computed. Program-wide obligations are $157,256,775,892.61 on 726 awards.

The FY cell is 17.8% of the program-wide $157,256,775,892.61 book in this extract. The source note says FY figures can be incomplete; this page does not fill the rest of FY2026. The All programs index still lists other catalog lines. The FY2026 federal spending hub still lists other FY2026 programs. Neither parent equals this cell.

155 FY2026 awards are not a census of schools or meals
