The vision of ESMMSC is to have a South Carolina in which healthy eating and active living are the pillars of healthy lifestyles in healthy communities. This request for proposals seeks to help us achieve our mission of supporting healthy eating and active living by identifying and collaborating with partners that want to address physical activity and nutrition within the state.

This one-year “seed” funding program is designed and developed to support ESMMSC members in community level physical activity and nutrition related activities. Formal and informal groups, coalitions, and non-profit organizations are encouraged to apply. Funding for proposals is structured for either planning or capacity building efforts or project/program implementation. A teleconference will be held March 19, 2008 to discuss the intent of the initiative in further detail, and provide clarification of the guidance.
