PITTSBURGH Highmark Foundation is accepting applications for its 2021-2022 school grant and awards program.
The foundation will have $450,000 for schools grades K-12 in Pennsylvania and West Virginia with the goal to create healthier school environments that experience positive, sustainable and lasting change through comprehensive strategies.
“Our schools have a tremendous holistic opportunity to be the foundation for systemic improvement in children’s health,” Yvonne Cook, Highmark Foundation president, said. “We are very pleased with the impact the School Grant and Awards program has had in its first seven years and are looking forward to expanding that impact to include school-based health initiatives.”
