Fw: Highmark Foundation Creating a Healthy School Environment Grant and Awards Program

Hello, PPS Healthy School Leaders-

I wanted to send a reminder about the Highmark Foundation Creating a Healthy School Environment Grant and Awards Program.  The deadline to apply for the Building Sustainable and Lasting Changes in Schools grant is approaching soon – Friday, March 17th. There are additional grant opportunities to also consider. Please read below for more information…



The Highmark Foundation is pleased to announce the
2017-2018 Creating a Healthy School Environment Grant and Awards Program

The goal of the program is to create healthier school environments that experience positive, sustainable, and lasting change through comprehensive strategies.  The program is open to schools, grades K-12, in central, northeast and western Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Creating a Healthy School Environment Grant and Awards program is a multi-faceted approach to school-based grant making.  School grants are available to schools in central and western Pennsylvania and West Virginia through this new coordinated approach.

·         Building Sustainable and Lasting Changes in Schools grant funding supports evidence-based programs that address one of four priority areas: bullying prevention, child injury prevention, healthy eating and physical activity, or environmental health. As a requirement for funding, grant recipients must provide measureable pre-and post-program intervention status reports. Application deadline: March 17, 2017.

·         Advancing Excellence in School Nursing awards recognize the important role school nurses play in adolescent health and wellness. Up to eight school nurses will be presented this honor, accompanied by $1,500 to be used for professional development or school resources. Application deadline: March 17, 2017.

·         Meeting Health Needs through Supportive Services grants are part of a strategy to support economically disadvantaged school districts and high-needs schools with financial assistance to meet basic health requests. Rolling application period through December 31, 2017.
