The Advocacy Fund provides critical support to help advance promising legislative or regulatory efforts on healthy food policy.
These policy priority areas include: taxes on sugary beverages and/or ultra-processed food, front-of-package nutrition labeling, restrictions on marketing of unhealthy food and beverages, and healthy public sector food environments, including schools. The Advocacy Fund may also be used to block harmful policies that would set negative precedents and undermine a healthy food policy environment.
The Advocacy Fund is managed by the Global Health Advocacy Incubator and supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies.
Eligibility
