About wellness grants

Wellness grants fund programs that promote healthy behaviors, prevention, and overall well-being, from physical activity and nutrition to mental health and chronic-disease prevention. Funders include the CDC, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the American Heart Association, and corporate and regional health foundations. These grants typically support community wellness initiatives, school and workplace programs, and prevention-focused services delivered by nonprofits and public agencies.

What grants are available for wellness programs?

Wellness funding supports physical-activity and nutrition initiatives, mental-health and well-being programs, prevention campaigns, and community-based healthy-living efforts. Grants can fund program staff, materials, facilities, and partnerships with schools, employers, or health systems. Many funders prioritize prevention and measurable improvements in community health and well-being.

Who funds wellness and prevention initiatives?

The CDC funds community prevention and chronic-disease programs, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funds healthy-communities and well-being work. The American Heart Association offers Community Impact Grants for wellness programs and cardiovascular-health promotion. Regional health-conversion foundations and corporate funders also support local wellness initiatives, with eligibility generally focused on nonprofits, schools, and public agencies.

Are wellness grants only for large organizations?

No. Many wellness funders specifically support community-based nonprofits, schools, and local health departments, and award sizes vary widely to fit smaller programs. American Heart Association Community Impact Grants, for instance, fund community organizations, schools, and health departments rather than individuals. Strong applications show clear community need, defined goals, and a way to measure healthy-behavior change.
