Grants
Ardmore Institute of Health (AIH) works for a future where healthy environments and lifestyles provide equitable and preferred methods to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Each year, we fund innovative projects that advance our strategic objectives and help make our vision a reality.
Featured Projects
In 2023, AIH provided grant funding to Stanford University’s Farm to Table Camp, an initiative that teaches children about food growth, preparation, and sustainability. As part of this project, the Full Plate Living curriculum was adapted into a Full Plate for Kids activity book, designed to empower kids to make informed and healthy food choices.
