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:
