Requests for Proposals
Morgan-Hynd

The Cigna Foundation announced the open call for applications for its Healthier Kids For Our Future® grant program, part of a five-year, $25 million global initiative focused on improving the health and well-being of children.

In 2021, the program will award an additional $5 million in grants to continue to support schools, nonprofits and community organizations focused on addressing food insecurity and the mental health and emotional well-being of children, with emphasis on loneliness, anxiety, depression and suicide prevention.

Since its launch in 2019, Healthier Kids For Our Future® has awarded over $8 million in grants to nonprofit organizations working to reduce childhood hunger and improve mental health in our country’s youth. This program furthers Cigna’s commitment to addressing social determinants of health and eliminating barriers to care for all communities as part of its Building Equity and Equality Program.

Nonprofits are invited to apply for grants beginning January 25. The grant cycle will close on February 26, and grant award announcements are expected in spring 2021.

Programming requirements should include:

  • Food insecurity, hunger or nutrition education programs.
  • Mental health programs with a focus on loneliness, anxiety, depression and suicide prevention.
  • Grants will be considered for school-based or non-school-based programming, and summertime programs. In some instances, multi-year requests will be considered.
