Action for Healthy Kids: School Breakfast Grants

School Breakfast grants are for schools and districts to implement new alternative breakfast initiatives. Schools will be awarded based on project, ability to offer breakfast at no charge, and impact of grant. Funded schools will also receive expertise and people power to help implement a successful project that leads to sustainable change.

Funding priorities include:

• Applications that demonstrate permission from administrators to allow students to eat breakfast in their classroom
• Applications that demonstrate principal support for proposed changes

Amount: Funding will be awarded in the following manner:

• $3,000/school: To be considered for $3,000, schools must: Offer breakfast at no charge for ALL students; implement new alternative breakfast programming (e.g., breakfast in the classroom, grab and go to the classroom); and have a current breakfast participation of less than 50%
• $2,000/school: To be considered for $2,000, schools must: Implement new alternative breakfast programming (e.g., breakfast in the classroom, grab and go to the classroom); and have a Free and Reduced Price Lunch (FRPL) program percentage between 40-60%

Eligibility: Schools and school districts with a minimum FRPL of 40%.
