Grants & Funding Opportunities
Funding for CATCH
Ideally, CATCH would be an annual line item in your school or
organizations budget. In the real world it is sometimes necessary to
locate the funding you will need to bring CATCH and other PE, nutrition
or coordinated school health programs to your communitiy. For that
reason, we have created this CATCH Funding page to bring you the latest
in where to locate those necessary funds and support from the CATCH
Team.
This
page is designed to provide our communities with up-to-date information
on the latest funding available. We also provide sample text you can
include in your proposals to include CATCH along with cost analysis,
grant tips and the key elements you will need for a successful proposal.
We would also be glad to review your proposal to review the CATCH
information for accuracy and to provide feedback. More information is
available in the CATCH Vault.

While CATCH does not supply grants or funding directly, we are
able to provide the documentation and materials you will be required to
