Who Has the Money? Funding Community Programs
Helen Thompson, MA, RD, CDE
Abstract
As registered dietitians, we expect to be compensated for what we do and the advice we give. As we branch out into communities to promote healthy eating and active living, traditional sources of funding are often not available. With some preparation and the right information, looking for funding need not be a daunting task. This article provides a glimpse into agencies and organizations that provide money for work in communities, tips on grant writing, and partners that can assist in the process.
