Membership/Areas of Interest:
Not a membership based organization. The foundation's mission is to increase health promotion to the public. Most programs are the results of research-based initiatives designed to prevent chronic disease.

How They Work with Corporations:
AHF has a number of ongoing programs in place to educate the public about disease prevention. They feel strongly about reaching children while they are so young so that they can incorporate healthy habits into their lifestyle. Some current programs include: .Sponsorship opportunities available for Child health day on October 2, in D.C. This day highlights the importance of proper diet and exercise .Know your body program--curriculum designed for grades K-6 in public schools on nutrition, diet and exercise--has been sponsored in the past by corporations such as Pepsico. The more corporate sponsors they have, the greater the distribution program.

Examples of past programs with corporate co-sponsors include: Children's Health Survey with Scholastic, Fitness Program for Teachers sponsored by Allstate, Nutrition In-Service sponsored by Kellogg

The AHF can't endorse a product, but is open to co-sponsorship of programs that share their prevention messages. .Creation of a nutrition education campaign for children .Future program for Child Health Month or other existing program.
