The American Heart Association and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation are working to create a culture of health through Voices for Healthy Kids. Through this collaboration, and in working with a team of experts across the healthy eating and active living movement, the initiative aims to engage, organize, and mobilize people to help all children grow up at a healthy weight. Voices for Healthy Kids will advance coordinated state, local, and tribal public policy issue advocacy campaigns focused on healthy eating and active living, and will utilize the American Heart Association's proven advocacy capacity to drive meaningful and widespread policy change.

The goal of the grant opportunities within this initiative is to make effective strategic investments in ongoing state, local, and tribal public policy issue campaigns in order to increase public policy impact on healthy weight and living among children. Voices for Healthy Kids is focusing efforts in schools, community, and out-of-school time/early care and education. All grants awarded within these opportunities will be 100% non-lobbying funding. Applications should support one Voices for Healthy Kids Policy Lever<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cspinet.us11.list-2Dmanage1.com_track_click-3Fu-3D56c53970e9e8f3069990102a6-26id-3Da852756b0e-26e-3Df65e64fb76&d=DwMBAg&c=7gilq_oJKU2hnacFUWFTuYqjMQ111TRstgx6WoATdXo&r=hXOTJUAl2nsljAgmELfTyYpyS1eUGJSDiT3O3SAeUfE&m=Epckq3b8QVN5uquZ_YldtzwZAyfvuuxQbHrzmbFdqA0&s=PPugNgUVETTe34XbBmarNJ_m58PfGDpYfuTmTKhrx6U&e=> and be submitted by the deadline of July 21, 2017 - 5 PM PST.

Open RFA Opportunity
Strategic Campaign Funds Open RFA opportunity aims to fund strategic issue advocacy campaigns focused on helping kids grow up at a healthy weight through state, local, and tribal public policy campaigns. Applications must be specific to an individual campaign for public policy change in one state, local or tribal geographic location. We are not awarding regional grants, multi-location funding, multi-issue area, or support for technical assistance-based support strategies.  Voices for Healthy Kids is allocating grants up to $90,000 per award for a period of up to one year with potential renewal.

Incubator Opportunity
Voices for Healthy Kids has made a commitment to ensure that we reach those populations most adversely that are in greatest need for helping all children achieve a healthy weight and has integrated a broad-based health equity approach throughout the design of our initiative.

The Strategic Campaign Fund Incubator opportunity aims to support innovative advocacy approaches that align with Voices for Healthy Kids policy priorities. Incubator opportunities should identify additional partners and strategies through the empowered engagement of populations that are in the greatest need for helping all children achieve a healthy weight. Voices for Healthy Kids is allocating $15,000 - $30,000 funding per award for a period of up to one year.
