Grants support school health and wellness initiatives

[LIBERTY, NY] Sullivan 180 has released the 2025-2027 Empowering a Healthier Generation Program Grant Applications, continuing its investment in improving school wellness culture across Sullivan County. These grants are available to Sullivan County public schools that have an active Healthier Generation (HG) Advisor and a Wellness Coordinator. There are three funding opportunities:

  • The Healthier Generation School Grant ($4,000) supports individual school buildings in implementing initiatives that raise awareness of and promote the district’s Wellness Policy.

  • The Healthier Generation Competition Grant ($10,000) encourages schools to elevate their health and wellness efforts through the development of high-impact campaigns that align with and advance the goals of the district’s Wellness Policy. HG Competition Grant Awardees compete for a First Place Grant Award of $75,000 and a Second Place Grant Award of $50,000.

  • The Healthier Generation District Impact Grant ($20,000) offers funding to support systemic wellness improvements that impact the broader school community, either district-wide or within a specific building.

Empowering a Healthier Generation grant opportunities play a critical role in helping school districts turn their wellness policies into action. By aligning school-based initiatives with district-level wellness goals, the grants ensure that policies do more than exist on paper, they actively shape a healthier school culture.

“Grants are meant to include a student voice, community engagement, and sustainable change to drive meaningful implementation of wellness policies in ways that are visible and measurable,” said Meaghan Mullally-Gorr, Director of Health and Wellness at Sullivan 180.

“We are seeing a true culture shift in our schools, with students, staff, and community members coming together around wellness like never before,” said Meaghan. “This grant cycle not only builds on the momentum of previous years but also gives schools the opportunity to dream bigger and deepen their impact.”
