Cultivating Healthy Communities Grant Program</b></a><span style="color:#323232">. We recognize that health is local: it begins in our homes, schools, jobs, and neighborhoods. By creating more chances to make healthy choices in these places, we can empower
whole communities to lead healthier lives.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:13.5pt;line-height:16.0pt"><span style="color:#323232">Over the past three years, we have expanded our programming beyond the original focus on physical activity, urban farms, and local food. We're still committed to these areas, and
they'll be considered under this RFP. But our program as a whole aims to have broader impact and reach more spaces in the community. That’s why we are inviting projects that address issues in the following domains: Built Environment, Community Safety, Environmental
Exposures, Healthy Behaviors, and Social/Economic Factors. We are especially interested in projects that advance resident- or youth-led initiatives, and projects that seek to influence and strengthen local policies that impact residents' health.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:13.5pt;line-height:16.0pt"><span style="color:#323232">We expect to award up to $2 million in grants to organizations in the contiguous United States through this program. This will be a highly competitive funding opportunity with a
two-stage application process. </span><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#323232">All Stage 1 applications must be received by April 18, 2018 at 3PM ET</span></strong><span style="color:#323232">. We will not accept any late or incomplete
applications. You must submit a Stage 1 application in order to be considered for Stage 2.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
