EDTFI Eating Disorder Awareness Grant
​EDTFI is committed to supporting increased awareness of eating disorder issues and prevention, and to encourage health, well-being, and a sense of worthiness. We are excited to be able to offer grants to help support eating disorder awareness in Indiana. The grant application process is timed such that awareness projects can occur during Eating Disorders Awareness Month, which is February. Examples of projects include creating awareness materials (post-its, magnets, bracelets, shirts), hosting a workshop or seminar, making handouts/posters, conducting eating disorder screenings, etc.
Each year, two grants will be awarded to worthy projects, each in the amount of $500. Applications from a wide variety of individual/organizations are accepted, and members of EDTFI are permitted to apply. Applications are due by Nov. 1, 2024.

​Shannon Nunnelly from Center Grove Schools
For eating disorder awareness week, Shannon set up a table during lunch to provide eating disorder awareness and body positive stickers, handouts, bracelets, and other give-a-ways to the students at Center Grove High School. She used the daily school announcements to provide eating disorder information and answer student questions. She also organized a speaker to provide information on eating disorder awareness and prevention to over 600 seniors!
Dr. Kelly Miller from the University of Indianapolis Counseling Center
Dr. Miller organized a university outreach event in which counseling center clinicians did brief eating disorder screenings and provided information and resources. She had handouts, prizes, and awareness activities for students at the University of Indianapolis. She also set up a workshop for students focused on body positivity and building a healthy relationship with food.
