Mini-grant Application
We understand that organizational policy change isn’t always easy. That’s why Healthy and Active Before 5 will
provide a $500 check to the first 15 Leadership Council agencies which pass new healthy policies and provide
HAB45 with the documentation outlined below.
The mini-grant money may be spent on items which either support the implementation of your new healthy
organizational policy/policies, or support the goals of the HAB45 Action Plan in other ways. For instance, you might
want to buy reusable water pitchers for your meetings, a comfortable chair for a new breastfeeding space, or perhaps
indoor play props appropriate for children age 0-5. You choose what would be most helpful to your agency.
To qualify your agency must pass one or more of our HAB45 policies: 1) Healthy Beverages for Children; 2)
Breastfeeding Accommodation; 3) Healthy Food and Beverage; 4) Movement and Play Policy; 5) Reducing
Unhealthy Marketing to Children; or 6) Tap Water Promotion. Only one mini-grant prize will be awarded per policy,
while supplies last. Agencies that have previously been awarded a mini -grant are encouraged to re-apply, if they
update and old or adopt a new and different policy.
Your application will be reviewed by the HAB45 Executive Committee. We will contact you if we have any questions.
Questions? Please contact Tonya Love at (925) 265-6507 or healthyandactiveb45@gmail.com.
To submit, email your application to mail to healthyandactiveb45@gmail.com or mail a hard copy to Healthy & Active
Before 5 at 1035 Detroit Ave - Ste 200, Concord CA 94518.

1. Please attach a copy of each new Healthy & Active Before 5 policy approved by your agency.
(Required!) Date(s) approved: November 1, 2014
2. Please describe how you will spend your mini-grant funds (250 words max.)
Community Services Bureau is committed to promoting healthy habits and a healthy environment and
seeks to model the behavior we wish to encourage to the children and families we serve in our Head
Start, Early Head Start and Child Development programs. If awarded the $500 mini-grant, CSB will use
funds towards purchasing non-disposable dishes for use in our program to teach our children about
respecting the environment. The reduction of paper and plastic ware can greatly lower our carbon
footprint on the environment and reduce high costs associated with using paper products as we serve
approximately 3,000 meals per day.
