THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Health, Child Welfare, Physical Activity, Childhood Obesity, Nutrition, Education
Deadline: Oct. 31, 2024
“Healthy Habits for Life is a major grant-giving program of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas Foundation for schools. It is offered to help schools fund healthy initiatives for students in kindergarten through grade 12.
The Foundation recognizes that schools have a unique opportunity to teach students about healthy habits through curriculum and programs that reach them where they spend so much of their time: school. As a young, captive audience, students can be more easily influenced to develop life-long healthy habits and behaviors. The Foundation hopes that curbing childhood obesity and improving mental health now will translate into healthy adults later, saving health care dollars for all Kansans. The Foundation is seeking programs that will help Kansas youth:
(1) Reduce their cardiovascular risk,
(2) Increase their physical activity,
(3) Learn healthy eating habits, or
(4) Reinforce positive mental health.”
Funder: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas Foundation
