Grant to Advance Community Health and Nutrition Equity in California (USA)
GrantID: 74439
Grant Funding Amount Low: $5,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $50,000
Summary
There is a funding opportunity available that is designed to support research and projects addressing nutrition, food access, and healthy eating in communities across the United States. The grant provides resources for work that can quickly respond to emerging issues, policy changes, or other timely challenges that affect children, families, and young adults. With awards available up to $50,000, the program allows for projects that are short-term in nature, often running less than a year, while still offering meaningful insights and results that can inform future decisions and programs.
The opportunity is open to organizations rather than individuals, meaning that nonprofit groups, academic institutions, and other similar entities can apply. The focus is on work that benefits communities, especially those that are more likely to face barriers to healthy eating due to limited access or income. Because of this, projects that highlight equity, support underserved populations, or propose innovative solutions that can be applied at a local, state, or national level are especially encouraged.
The funds can be used for small-scale studies, evaluations, or written analyses that provide timely information to guide policy and community actions. For example, applicants might explore how changes in food programs, school nutrition, or food pricing affect families, or they might examine the impact of regulations and community-level initiatives. The flexibility of the funding allows researchers and community organizations to act quickly, creating opportunities to address pressing needs without a long waiting period.
This grant is available across the United States and is not limited to a particular region. It is not designed for businesses or individuals seeking direct support but rather for organizations that can demonstrate their capacity to deliver high-quality, solution-oriented research. The main benefit is the ability to contribute valuable knowledge that can shape healthier and more equitable communities.
