The 2006 Healthy Lifestyles Grant Program offers approximately 24 grants of up to $7,000 to 4-H/Extension Programs to foster community-based, innovative and fun programs to address reversing the climbing trend of obesity among young people ages 5-12. The grants can be used to fund new programs or enhanced/expanded current programs that include information on nutrition, physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices through the formation of youth-adult partnerships and community collaboration. Plans must include involving and educating family members through personal participation, information and activities in nutrition, health and physical activities. A public awareness and outreach campaign must be initiated to increase community awareness of youth obesity issues and the benefits of fitness, nutrition and healthy living.

Grants are offered only to 4-H/Extension Programs within the United States and its territories. The 4-H/Extension office/Landgrant University must be the fiscal agent for the program. Previous awardees can apply with a modified or expanded program. If you are not a part of 4-H, we encourage you to contact your local Cooperative Extension Office and become a project collaborator!

The application can be found at http://www.fourhcouncil.edu/GrantsHealthyLifestyles.aspx.
