AlohaCare has established a grants program to target childhood and adult obesity.

Applications are being sought for $5,000 grants.

Six nonprofits will be awarded. The deadline for applications is April 30.

The nonprofit project must be for the prevention or treatment of childhood and adult obesity, and be completed in one year. After the year, the organization must submit a report to AlohaCare detailing the program and its results. Nonprofits can apply for more than one grant if the project will be duplicated in several communities.
