School Grants for Healthy Kids



Are you ready to make a direct impact on the students in your school community? Whether you're a parent, educator, or other school staff, apply for one of Action for Healthy Kids school grants for the 2019-2020 school year.
Grants can help your school purchase needed equipment or start new programs that help achieve a vision of every kid healthy and ready to learn. With the support of our sponsors, AFHK provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in school breakfast grants, Game On grants for nutrition and physical activity, and parent-led wellness grants.

School Breakfast Grants 

School breakfast is more than a meal: It helps fight hunger, improves student focus, and reduces absenteeism. Your school can introduce or expand a school breakfast program with grants for $1,000, $2,000, or $3,000. Whether it's breakfast in the classroom, grab-and-go breakfast, or another breakfast program, help your students start their day right. Applications are open from February 4 through April 5, 2019.

Game On Grants 

In order to get every kid healthy and ready to learn, our Game On grants provide funding and resources for schools to improve or introduce new nutrition and physical activity programs. With a $1,000 grant, you can build a school garden, get equipment for active recess, host taste tests, and other nutrition promotion, start a before- or after-school activity club, and more. Applications are open from February 4 through April 5, 2019.

Parent-led Grants

Parents: Here’s your chance to make your mark on school health! Apply for a $1,000 parent-led school grant that will provide funds and resources to revamp or introduce fitness or nutrition programs so that all students have access to healthy choices. Applications are open from February 4 through April 5, 2019.Register here:
