In this section, find resources to help you take everything you’ve learned from one season and feed it into next year. REITERATE helps you turn your data into funds to support new programs through reporting and storytelling.

As a field built around the seasons, farm direct operations understand the importance of growing, tweaking, and even rebuilding our systems and programs from year to year. Successful nutrition incentive projects are created with the community in mind, so as your community changes, so do elements of your program. Keeping up with needs, changes, and your own learning as you implement your incentive over time requires continuous infusions of time and resources.

In this section, we’ll offer insights into how to evaluate both your progress and your impact as a program, and how to use the information you’ve collected to adjust for the next year. We also offer resources on developing additional incentive programs beyond those based on SNAP. Not only are multiple incentive programs proven to improve redemption rates across all programs, they can also offer ways for markets to create targeting interventions for food access in their communities.

REITERATE includes tools to help you consider what comes next for your SNAP-based nutrition incentive program, whether it’s expanded programming, a more efficient data-collection process, a bigger incentive, or new methods of outreach.
