Children enjoy the updated playground at Wright City’s town park. The improvements were made possible through a $36,000 TSET Healthy Incentive Grant awarded in 2022, along with support from local partners.
TSET Shares New Grant Opportunities to Boost Health in Schools and Communities
The Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET) has new guidelines for three grants for Oklahoma schools and communities supporting healthier environments and reduce preventable disease.
The updated information includes parameters for TSET Healthy Incentive Grants for Schools and two Targeted Achievement Grants, known as TAG.
The Healthy Incentive Grants program has been updated, and all school districts across Oklahoma are encouraged to apply, including those that received funding in previous years. The revised program resets eligibility and introduces several key changes, including a simplified single award category, updated funding limits and a new online application platform. Schools can use grant funds for wellness projects such as hydration stations, walking tracks and playground equipment. Click here to learn more about this funding opportunity.
Two additional grant opportunities support local governments and organizations:
-
TAG: Physical Activity helps expand access to safe places for physical activity, especially for youth. The grant encourages local policy change and collaboration, including shared-use agreements and improvements to sidewalks or recreation spaces. Click here to learn more.
-
TAG: Tobacco 21 supports communities working to raise awareness and enforce the federal law prohibiting tobacco sales to anyone under 21. The grant helps fund community education and outreach to reduce youth access to tobacco. Click here to review grant details.
All three grants are part of TSET’s broader effort to prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease by funding community-based solutions that encourage healthier living.
