ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION:

The Healthy Schools Program is an initiative of the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.  The program, which received a grant from RWJF, will set standards for schools, help schools meet those standards, and recognize and reward those schools that meet the standards. The standards will include goals to improve the nutritional value of food served in and out of cafeterias; increase physical activity during and after the school day; implement classroom lessons on healthy lifestyles; and develop programs for staff wellness.

All schools will be eligible to apply; however, in the first year of the program, the Alliance expects to focus on 300 schools in about 12 states with emphasis on schools with limited means.

Applications for the program will be available beginning July 1, 2006, at www.healthiergeneration.org or by calling 1-800-AHA-USA1.

 

More information on grants and other governmental funding mechanisms can be found on Grants.gov. In addition, the NCPPA E-newsletter lists grants available from a variety of national organizations.
