[Gramp Heather]

Dear Partners –

I am pleased for forward this funding opportunity announcement to you. I know that some of you are working with individual cities within your jurisdiction, looking at policy, system and environmental change strategies like including goals for sidewalks in local transportation plans; zoning for community gardens; and adopting worksite wellness policies. These are all  examples of activities that fit with the goals of HEAL Cities. Please see below for details. Thanks!
