× The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from state programs may be impacted. For now, California’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will continue to provide services and enroll eligible families as long as funding is available. No new federal funding to California WIC will be provided until the President and Congress take action. Families should continue to use their WIC benefits and attend their WIC appointments. This information is subject to change, so please monitor the California WIC website for updates.

Please be wary of potential highly partisan political messaging while visiting federal government websites for information related to the federal government shutdown.

Monkeypox (MPX) Community Based Organization (CBO) Grant 

The purpose of the MPX CBO Grant is to provide eligible CBO reimbursement for vaccine administration and vaccine outreach/education activities. A CBO is a public or private nonprofit organization that provides services to individuals in the community. Federally Qualified Health Centers are considered a CBO as long as they are a nonprofit entity. A nonprofit entity is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. There is $1.5 million available and, if requests for funding exceed the $1.5 million amount, applications will be scored based on population served and clinic size, and the description of outreach/education statement of activities.

The grant reimburses CBOs for vaccine administration expenses incurred between July 1, 2022, October 26, 2022, and for retrospective or prospective outreach/education efforts.
