About obesity prevention grants
Obesity prevention grants fund community programs that improve nutrition, increase physical activity, and reduce chronic-disease risk, especially in communities facing health disparities. The CDC is a central funder through programs such as Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH), which addresses disparities in obesity and diabetes among underserved populations. State health departments and health-focused foundations provide additional support for prevention initiatives.

What grants are available for obesity prevention?
Grants fund community-based prevention work, including healthy-food access, active-living and built-environment projects, school and worksite wellness, and chronic-disease risk reduction. Federal funding often targets communities with the highest disparities, and dollars frequently flow through state health departments to local organizations. Nonprofits, health departments, community coalitions, and health systems are typical applicants.
Who funds obesity prevention programs?
The CDC is a major funder, supporting programs such as Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH), which targets disparities in obesity and diabetes among racial and ethnic minority communities. State and local health departments distribute federal chronic-disease prevention funding to community partners. Health-focused private and community foundations, along with hospital community-benefit programs, fund additional prevention and healthy-living initiatives.
How can an organization get obesity-prevention funding?
Ground your proposal in an evidence-based, community-level intervention and clear health-equity data, since federal and foundation funders prioritize measurable population impact in high-need areas. Check whether your state or local health department is a CDC grantee that subawards to community partners, which is often the most accessible entry point. Coalitions that bring together schools, clinics, and community groups tend to compete well for prevention dollars.
