Dannon Company Offers Grants for Children’s Nutrition Education Programs
Deadline: June 30, 2006

In 2006, the Dannon Company (<a href="http://www.dannon.com/">http://www.dannon.com/</a>) will donate $25,000 to $30,000 to one program that nurtures healthy eating habits among children in each of the communities where a Dannon facility is located.

To qualify, organizations must request funding for a current nutrition education program for children up to age 18, or be able to launch such an initiative in late 2006. Programs should be creative in their approach, involve community partners, and be designed to impact children’s eating habits today for a healthier tomorrow.

Eligible organizations must serve communities where Dannon facilities are located (Auglaize County, OH; Salt Lake County, UT; Tarrant County, TX; or Westchester County, NY); and be a program of a tax-exempt nonprofit under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code, but not a private foundation as defined under Section 509(a).

The application form and instructions can be downloaded from the Dannon Cares section of the Dannon Company Web site.
