About school health grants

School health grants fund programs that promote student physical and mental health, nutrition, physical activity, and chronic-condition management within school settings. Federal support flows through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Healthy Schools initiatives and cooperative agreements with states and national organizations, while nonprofits like Action for Healthy Kids and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation provide direct grants and support to schools. Funding often prioritizes underserved and high-need communities.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow school health grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

What school health grants are available?

School health grants support nutrition and healthy meals, physical activity, school nursing, mental and behavioral health, and chronic-disease management. The CDC funds school health largely through cooperative agreements with state health and education agencies and national partners, and nonprofits offer direct grants to individual schools. Many programs focus on reducing childhood obesity, supporting students with chronic conditions, and improving health equity in underserved communities.

Which organizations fund school health programs?

The CDC's Healthy Schools program is a primary federal funder, supporting states and national nongovernmental organizations such as the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, the National Association of School Nurses, and others to strengthen school health. Action for Healthy Kids administers grants to schools for nutrition and physical activity, including support for small and rural districts. Private foundations, health systems, and corporate funders also support school-based health and wellness.

Are there school health grants for individual schools?

Yes. While much federal funding flows through states and large national organizations, several nonprofits offer grants directly to individual schools, often for nutrition, physical activity, and wellness projects. Action for Healthy Kids, for example, has funded school districts to improve meal programs and nutrition access.
