Illinois State Board of Education Nutrition Programs
Fiscal Year 2008 Child and Adult Care Food
Program Renewal Application Was Due
September 21, 2007
Have you submitted the CACFP renewal application for fiscal year 2008? Has it been
approved? If you are not sure, check Child Nutrition ACES. The Sponsor Application,
Site Application(s), Annual Budget, and Management Plan (when applicable) must all
be approved. If you did not receive the approval letter in your IWAS inbox, click on
the Sponsor Application Links and select Document Archive.
If you find any part of your application in Pending status, click on the word Pending to
find out why. It may say you were supposed to submit documents to this office; did
you send them in with your agreement number written on them?
If all your application documents are not approved by the end of October and we have
not called you, you should call to see if we received all the documents. Otherwise,
the fewer phone calls we receive gives us more time to concentrate on approving the
applications. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Annual Financial Report Due Before
December 17
The 2007 Annual Financial Report (AFR) must be submitted prior to Monday,
December 17. The fiscal year 2007 AFR is to be completed for the time period of
October 1, 2006, through September 30, 2007.
Federal Regulations 7CFR226.15(e)(13) states that each institution participating in
the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) shall keep documentation of
nonprofit food service. A nonprofit food service means CACFP reimbursement is
used only for the food service operation. The Monthly Profit (or Loss) Summary is
one tool that helps you collect this information on a monthly basis. Add each line item
from each of the twelve Monthly Profit (or Loss) Summary reports to gather your
annual information. To simplify this process, use the 2007 AFR Data Collection
