General Mills Foodservice has committed $100,000 to helps schools with students in grades K-12 build their breakfast programs. This is being done in conjunction with the National Dairy Council's Child Nutrition and Fitness Initiative Breakfast Grant program.
Eligible schools can apply to receive up to $3,000 in funding for their breakfast program. To qualify the school must have the support from the school's principal, district school nutrition director and school nutrition manager, have school enrollment of at least 500 students and demonstrate an opportunity to raise their breakfast participation. Schools must also be enrolled in the National Dairy Council's "Fuel up to Play 60" program for the 2010- 2011 school year.
