Request for Proposals

The Osteopathic Heritage Foundations periodically seek proposals from non-profit organizations that share the Foundations’ commitment to improving health and quality of life. The solicited proposals focus on mission-related, targeted initiatives. The mission of the Foundations is advanced through a wide spectrum of grants and funding initiatives in three broadly defined funding areas of interest: health and quality of life, osteopathic medical education and osteopathic research.

Generally, the Foundations do not accept unsolicited grant requests; instead, grant requests are considered through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process.

Funding Priority: Obesity

School Wellness Grant Program: Jackson and Washington Counties

The School Wellness Grant Program is designed to improve the health, physical activity, and nutrition of children and families in select counties of the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation of Nelsonville (the Foundation) service area. As one of the Foundation's strategies to impact the obesity epidemic, the objective of the School Wellness Grant Program is to support school district efforts to implement programs that promote wellness, physical activity and healthy nutrition. The overall goal of the School Wellness Grant Program is to support sustainable change in the areas of improved health, physical activity, and nutrition.

The Foundation will support public school districts located in Jackson and Washington counties in implementing school wellness activities through the provision of School Wellness Grants.
