Aetna Foundation Regional Grants

The Aetna Foundation’s Regional Grants fund community wellness initiatives that serve those who are most at risk for poor health -- low-income, underserved or minority populations.

Grants target communities where healthy food can be difficult to buy, and where social and environmental factors may limit individuals’ ability to be physically active. Projects of interest include: school based or after-school nutrition and fitness programs, community-based nutrition education programs for children and families, community gardening and urban farming activities for children and families and efforts to increase the availability or affordability of fresh fruits and vegetables in communities.

Grants ranging from $25,000 to $40,000 are available.

Deadline: September 15, 2013
