Funding

All schools and Aurora Colleges are welcome to apply for funding to hold a nutrition-related event or program, based on the size of your student population, as per the categories below:

< 50 students - $750
51 - 100 students - $1,000
101 - 150 students - $1,250
151 - 250 students - $1,500
251 - 350 students - $1,750
> 350 students - $2,000

A total of $67,500.00 is available for this contribution/grant portion of the campaign this year, up from $45,000 last year. The funding will be available on a first come, first serve basis, so please apply early!

Your organization can use this funding to plan and host a special nutrition-related event/program that highlights the importance of healthy drinks and other foods. Some examples include:

Promote Healthy Fruit or another healthy food day
Make Your Own healthy Drinks
Cook traditional foods
Use the event to talk about subjects in the school health or nutrition curriculum.

Also, we have compiled some of the ideas from previous years. This year we hope to compile a similar list, with photos if possible, to add to the website (see resources).
