Alliance for a Healthier Generation centers school-based health, with grants that support nutrition, physical activity, health education, social-emotional well-being, and staff and family engagement. Its recent awards show a mix of direct school support and project-specific funding, including $80,000 to A Better Chance a Better Community for produce distribution and $23,060 to Clemson University for garden installation for schools. The foundation also uses grants to help schools build healthier environments through equipment, infrastructure, and program activities tied to student wellness. The public charity’s grantmaking is national and leans toward K–12 settings, school communities, and local community food recipients. Recent awards include $25,000 grants to Clayton County Public Schools, Sheridan School District No 2, David Douglas School District, Atlanta Public Schools, Seattle Public Schools, Hillsboro School District 1J, and Dekalb County School District through its Healthy Schools and Communities Grant. Another pattern appears in food and nutrition education and access, with multiple 2025 grants in North Carolina and Arkansas supporting school and community food efforts. The foundation’s work is organized around helping young people live healthier lives in everyday school and community settings.
