The Elizabeth Schultz Environmental Fund aims to support projects dedicated to the preservation and understanding of nature, along with resource conservation, primarily within Douglas County, Kansas. These projects may explore these goals through various lenses, including scientific, cultural, educational, aesthetic, or economic perspectives.
LiveWell Community Wellness Grants are designed to promote the health of Douglas County residents through the encouragement of healthy eating and physically active lifestyles. The grants aim to assist projects that advance the goals outlined in the 2018 – 2023 Douglas County Community Health Plan, particularly in areas of Food Security and Healthy Built Environment. These grants support Douglas County organizations in adopting changes that foster healthy eating and physical activity in various everyday settings, such as childcare centers, schools, workplaces, and community centers. Additionally, they back programs aimed at helping residents improve their diets and activity patterns to reduce lifestyle-related chronic disease risks. The grant promotes collaboration among organizations to enhance community health. Financially, the grants focus significantly on children's health, with up to $80,000 allocated for projects targeting children and their families, and up to $20,000 for projects primarily aimed at adults or the broader public. Grant amounts are anticipated to range from $1,000 to $15,000.
