Grants and Funding Opportunities

Healthy Emory Well-being Champion Mini-Grant

Healthy Emory’s approach to well-being represents five elements: financial, emotional & mental, physical, social & community, and learning & career. Through this holistic lens, we strive to create programs and resources that empower employees to thrive in every aspect of life. 

Our Well-being Champion network plays a vital role in bringing this vision to life. The Healthy Emory Well-being Champion Mini-Grant supports initiatives that strengthen these five elements, whether it’s promoting physical activity and healthy eating, saving money, managing stress, social connection, or career development. Each grant-funded project helps departments cultivate balance and resilience across the entire well-being spectrum.
