Grant for Nonprofits and Public Organizations Serving Children at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes

Funds eligible organizations to plan and implement Smart Moves for Kids, an evidence-based, family-centered 12-week program for children ages 7–18 who are at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes and their caregivers. The program combines nutrition education, physical activity, behavioral change strategies, and caregiver support to help children and families develop sustainable healthy habits. Priority is given to organizations serving Black or African American children and families, as well as other communities experiencing disproportionate burdens of type 2 diabetes in Minnesota.
