Nature of Strategic Approach
• Healthy eating and active living typically viewed as tightly linked priorities
• Most emphasize needs of children• Diverse activities reported, but
interventions in schools most prevalent

HEAL Strategies Have Evolved Over Time
• Most respondents report moving to “more targeted” grantmaking, including:– Concentrating funding among a smaller
number of grantees– Emphasizing synergy among grantees– Developing stronger capacity in and
relationships with grantees– Increasing focus on policy and
environmental change

Assessing Impact
• Most respondents view HEAL grants as effective investments– Some questions raised about built environment
investments• Governing boards have adopted a long-term
view for assessing performance • Most HEAL funders(~75 %) evaluate all or
some HEAL grants• About one-third of HEAL funders have
identified clear metrics for assessing HEAL portfolio
