Special Olympics has announced its new Healthy Athletes Grants Program with the following three grant categories: Healthy Athletes Capacity Grants, Pilot Health Promotion Grants, and Lions Clubs International Opening Eyes Grants.
The Healthy Athletes Capacity Grants competition may be used for one or more games and competitions in which there will be a Healthy Athletes venue. For more information, contact Dr. Mark L. Wagner, mwagner@specialolympics.org.
The Pilot Health Promotion Grants identify and develop community-based and athlete-focused health and fitness programs that go beyond the training and competition environment. This is a two-step grant submission process beginning with a letter of intent, followed by a proposal, if Special Olympics likes your idea. Contact Dr. Mark L. Wagner, mwagner@specialolympics.org, for more information.
The Lions Clubs International Opening Eyes Grants distribute resources for the Opening Eyes vision program. For consideration, you must have a trained Opening Eyes Clinical Director. For more information, contact Mr. David Evangelista at devangelista@specialolympics.org.
