Champions for Healthy Kids Grants Program
The Champions for Healthy Kids grants program is a partnership among the ADA Foundation, the General Mills Foundation and the President’s Challenge. Since 2002, the Champions for Healthy Kids grants program has invested more than $6 million in innovative youth nutrition and fitness programs involving more than 100,000 children across the United States.
Through this grants program, the ADA Foundation helps extend the work of RDs and DTRs. The grassroots grants provide an opportunity for an RD or DTR to work with a non-profit organization and apply for funding.
Each year the Champions program will award 50 grants of $10,000 each. The annual deadline is January 15. More information and access to the online application (available December to February) is available online at www.generalmills.com/corporate/commitment/champions.aspx
