Detailed Project Description: *

Describe how this project will positively impact physical wellness of those it serves: *

Physical wellness includes maintaining a healthy quality of life by engaging in certain activities that lead to optimal health, and refraining from others. Examples are annual physicals, dental exams, exercise, and eating quality foods. Physical wellness also includes mental wellness - understanding how our feelings, such as anger and experiencing stress or joy, contribute to our physical health, learning to manage these to live our best life, and coping with challenges as they come along, without resorting to unhealthy habits.

Example: All fourth graders in the Deer Isle-Stonington school system

Island Health & Wellness Foundation (IH&WF) exists because of the generous support of our donors. In order to fulfill our mission, and at the same time use the money we have been given in a fiscally responsible manner, we are constantly looking for new health initiatives to fund that will keep us both relevant and responsive to the current needs of our community. For this reason we have an expectation that programs and projects will demonstrate their ability to become self-supporting in a reasonable amount of time. We recognize that a reasonable amount of time varies depending on the parent organization and the type of project being considered and each request will be carefully considered on a case-by-case basis. In addition, we are aware that some programs, while extremely valuable and worthwhile, can never become self-supporting and we will continue to fund such requests. Lastly, if your organization is awarded this grant based on a proposed budget/plan and that plan or budget subsequently changes, you are expected to inform the IH&WF Executive Director by email within ten (10) days of becoming aware of the change so that the IH&WF Board of Directors can consider your amended plan and/or budget. *
