General Mills Foundation Invites Applications for Healthy Kids Grant Program
Deadline: January 15, 2008
The General Mills Foundation http://www.generalmills.com/corporate/commitment/foundation.aspx ,
in partnership with the American Dietetic Association Foundation http://www.adaf.org/ and the President’s Council onPhysical Fitness http://www.fitness.gov/, is accepting applications for the Champions for Healthy Kids grant program.
This national program will award fifty grants of $10,000 each to community-based groups across the United States that develop creative ways to help youth adopt a balanced diet and physically active lifestyle.
Applicant organizations must be nonprofit or not-for-profit organizations and have 501(c)(3) or 509(a) status. Local organizations that work with youth are encouraged to apply because their programs are more likely to be sustainable. These may include park districts, health departments, government agencies, Native American tribes, municipal organizations, churches, schools, YMCAs, Boys & Girls clubs, and so on.
The target audience must be youth between the ages of two and eighteen. A registered dietitian or dietetic technician must either be directly involved or serve as an advisor to the program, and the proposal must have at least one nutrition objective and one physical activity objective.
