About Healthier Jupiter’s 2019-2020 Mini-Grant Program

Healthier Jupiter, a community initiative founded to address health and quality of life issues, for the fourth year in a row, Healthier Jupiter will offer Mini Grants to impact the health of our community. The goal of the Mini Grants is to fund innovative projects that have measurable impact and can create meaningful, transformative change in the health, wellness and success of the greater Jupiter community. The grants will allow civic organizations, churches, temples, schools, government entities and nonprofits to fund pilot ideas to improve our collective community health in one of four focus areas:

1. Increase the availability and affordability of fresh, healthy foods;

2. Help individuals become more physically active on a regular basis;

3. Encourage people to engage mentally and physically to practice healthy behaviors; and/or

4. Support changes in the built environment and community policies that promote equitable opportunities for healthy living.
