Funding opportunity under the Healthy Kids Initiative
August 25, 2025
The Paso del Norte Health Foundation (Health Foundation) seeks Letters of Intent (LOIs) from eligible organizations to promote the Health Foundation’s Strategic Plan for the Healthy Kids Initiative.
Specifically, the Health Foundation seeks LOIs to increase the number of disconnected youth ages 5-17 who participate in out-of-school time (OST) programs. Disconnected youth refers to children ages 5-17 years old who do not have a safe environment, a positive activity, and a trusted adult outside of school. Connected youth are involved in out-of-school time activities in a safe place with a caring adult. Connected youth also tend to avoid situations and behaviors that compromise health while engaging in activities that promote health.
