Allocation and Use of Funds

EFNEP funds are appropriated by Congress under Section 3(d) of the Smith-Lever Act, as amended. These funds are allocated to the States on the basis of an administrative formula. Once States receive this money, they are subject to the following constraints:

• 30% or less can be used for professionals and supports costs, including 4H professionals.

• 15% to 20% must be used for the employment of professionals and/or paraprofessionals, including support costs, to conduct the 4H EFNEP Program.

• 80% to 85% is to be used for the employment of professionals and/or paraprofessionals, including support costs, to work in the adult program.

• 60% or more must be used for paraprofessional personnel and their support costs.
