The Kresge Foundation’s Healthy Environments grant program seeks to improve the health and well-being of vulnerable populations by making the places they live, learn, work and play safe and conducive to overall good health. The Healthy Homes Initiative supports innovative efforts to address the impacts of housing on health. The Transportation and the Built Environment initiative addresses the health effects of freight transport, especially on vulnerable communities and workers, as well as efforts to re-examine aspects of the built environment that create barriers to physical activity, air and water quality, and safety. The Healthy Food initiative strives to improve food system policies, especially those that provide better access to healthful foods, fruits, and vegetables and reduce the emphasis on products without positive nutritional benefits. Preliminary applications may be submitted at any time. Visit the Foundation’s website to review the application guidelines.
