America Walks and generous Active People, Health Nations partners are excited to announce another round of our popular Community Change Grant program. This program will award 15 grantees $1,500.00 in community grants for projects related to creating healthy, active, and engaged places to live, work and play.

America Walks has seen firsthand that the passion, innovation, and hard work of advocates and local organizations to advance safe, equitable, accessible, and enjoyable places to walk and move are what create the foundation for walkable communities across the US. This grant program will work to provide support to the growing network of advocates, organizations, and agencies using innovative, engaging, and inclusive programs and projects to create change at the community level.

Applications are open through October 16th, 2023!

America Walks believes that walkable communities lead to improved safety and health for community members of all ages, abilities, genders, and backgrounds and engages community members in work to create safe, accessible, and enjoyable places to walk and be physically active.

To that end, the organization currently is accepting applications for its Community Change Grants program, which awards micro-grants of up to $1,500 to projects that help create healthy, active, and engaged places to live, work, and play. Funded projects should increase walking and the benefits of walkability in communities, work to grow the walking movement by engaging people and organizations new to the effort, and take steps toward creating a culture of inclusive health.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the America Walks website.

Deadline: November 2, 2018
