EDUCATION EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING GRANT

Education Employee Well-Being (EEW) Grants provide funding to build employee well-being programs that are staff-led and meet each organization’s unique needs. New this year is a tiered funding structure to better support employee well-being based on an organization’s size. There are two opportunities each year to apply, the next grant deadline is Friday, October 27th. 

The EEW Grant is a multi-year grant lasting from 3-5 years. When you have an EEW Grant, your program will also be assigned a liaison, an OEA Choice Trust staff member who is dedicated to supporting the wellness coordinator and providing technical assistance.

SUSTAINABILITY GRANT

The Sustainability Grant (formerly Mini Grants) is meant for employee well-being programs that have been in place and active for at least 12 months. New this year is a two-tiered funding structure: organizations with 500 employees or less may request up to $5,000, and organizations with more than 500 employees may request up to $10,000. There are two opportunities each year to apply, the next grant deadline is Friday, October 20th.
