Grant Overview

Delaware's youth from economically disadvantaged backgrounds face significant barriers to physical activity, including lack of access to safe recreational spaces and limited financial resources. According to the Delaware Division of Public Health, over 25% of children living in poverty are obese, compared to 12% of their more affluent peers. This initiative targets these disparities by creating partnerships with local nonprofits to offer running clubs. By implementing a system-building approach, the program will work to coordinate resources and activities that support children's physical health. Unlike neighboring Pennsylvania, Delaware's funding priorities must address the unique challenges posed by its small size and limited resources.

Who Faces Barriers in Delaware? Youth from low-income families, particularly those living in New Castle County, face significant barriers to physical activity. These barriers include lack of access to safe recreational spaces, limited financial resources, and inadequate transportation. Successful applicants will need to demonstrate an understanding of these barriers and develop programs that are tailored to the local context.

How Funding Addresses Barriers in Delaware: The funding will support the development of running clubs in low-income communities, providing access to safe and supportive environments for physical activity. Grantees will be expected to work with local partners to coordinate resources and activities that support children's physical health. Delaware's requirement for a minimum of 15% matching funds from local sources ensures that grantees have a vested interest in the program's success.

Delaware's Infrastructure Challenges: The state's small size and limited resources can make it difficult to access specialized services, such as fitness coaching and sports equipment. Successful applicants will need to demonstrate an understanding of these infrastructure challenges and develop programs that are adapted to the local context.
