Summary
A funding opportunity is available to support health-focused initiatives for educational institutions across a specific Midwestern region. This grant is designed to encourage the development of programs that promote healthier lifestyles for youth, particularly within K-12 school environments. The goal is to foster long-term wellness habits through activities that encourage physical fitness, mental health awareness, and improved nutrition.
Eligible applicants include public or private schools located within a defined service area, excluding certain metropolitan counties.

Applications are typically accepted during a fall window, with award notifications made before the end of the year. Funded programs are expected to be implemented in the following calendar year. This opportunity provides a meaningful way for schools to invest in the well-being of their students while building a culture of health within their communities.
