LIBERTY, NY — Sullivan 180 has released the 2025-2027 Empowering a Healthier Generation Program grant applications. 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,” according to the group. Participants compete for a first-place award of $75,000 and a second-place 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,” Sullivan 180 said.

“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.”
