Bringing Nutrition Incentives to Life

In order to make nutrition incentives a reality, there are many moving parts that must come together and function effectively and efficiently. There are three partners that must communicate and collaborate together to implement a program.

Retailers

Retailers must collaborate and design a program that not only works within their store at the ground level but fulfills all of the requirements that their non-profit or government agency partner must meet as a grant recipient.

Solutions & Methodologies

Bringing nutrition incentives to your store can seem challenging. Some POS systems have built-in capabilities that make offering incentives a relatively simple function, but for some this may be more of a challenge.

Luckily many different POS companies, technology providers and developers are working on ways to allow your store to quickly and efficiently handle these transactions.

Grantees

The non-profit and grocer worlds are very different, so a basic mutual understanding is essential for a successful incentive program partnership. The NGAF TA Center speaks the grocer language and can help grantees navigate these relationships.
