Win $25,000 with Post Grant for Good Health

I’ve been working with Post Cereals as a nutrition consultant for a few months now, creating healthy eating tips, diet plans and more for PostNatural.com. This month, Post announced a worthwhile new grants program to help improve the health and wellness of one lucky community in America! Community wellness is near and dear to my heart, and I’m excited to be helping judge the entries for the $25,000 grant!



The Post Grant for Good Health essay contest will award $25,000 to the winning entrant with the best health and wellness initiative idea for their community, town or local area. The Grant for Good Health is designed to empower individuals to make strides to improve the health of communities across America and can have a broad range, from planting public gardens, to building a playground to creating a community fitness center.



From now until May 17th, applicants can submit 300-word essays on PostNatural.com, alongside a budget outlining the intended use of the grant's funding. A team of members from Post Foods, the National Wellness Institute and I will evaluate the proposed projects, and in May, 10 finalists will be selected. Up to 10 finalists will be featured on the Post Web site, where the public can vote for the project idea they find most meaningful. The winner of the $25,000 grant will be presented their award at the National Wellness Institute's 35th Annual National Wellness Conference in Stevens Point, Wis., in July.

In good health,
