Healthy Kids Grants

Healthy Kids Grants are awarded each year to individual public schools in Northern Virginia that implement a program or strategy to encourage better nutrition/ more physical activity, or better mental health among their student body during the school year.  In 2022, the Community Foundation added support for programs addressing students' mental health and well begin as well, after Insight Region's report, Finding our Way Back to Mental Health, revealed that 22 percent of parents reported overall worsened mental or emotional health for their school-age children.

Healthy Kids Grants are possible through support from The Permanent Fund for Northern Virginia, our endowment supporting critical need throughout the region.  Make a donation today.
