Description
Be Healthy School Grants, offered by the Caring Foundation of Alabama and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama, help schools implement programs and projects emphasizing health, nutritional, and physical education throughout the school day. Funding supports school-based work addressing health education, physical fitness, and/or nutritional education for students in grades K–12.
The application identifies focus areas including adaptive physical education equipment and programming, playgrounds and outdoor or indoor structures, and school gardens or nutrition. Projects may also benefit the surrounding community, such as walking tracks, trails, or gardens, but grant-funded areas must be on school property and primarily used by the school’s students.
