The Oliver Foundation is a Houston-based 501(c) (3) non-profit operating foundation  dedicated to the prevention of childhood obesity.  We provide funding  of various  levels and time frames to qualified grant recipients.  The grants, by application,  are based on the Oliver Foundation’s Seven Healthy Messages to promote a healthy lifestyle to kids and teens.  Referred to as “The Seven Healthy Choices!”

Who Participates in the Oliver Foundation?

Oliver Foundation Success Story

The Oliver Foundation with Baylor College of Medicine has been successful in obtaining weight loss in elementary-age overweight and obese kids in the 7th largest school district in Texas. This was accomplished through an intensive intervention program for two years, following 2nd graders through 3rd grade. The program focused on the CHOICES messages integrating healthy eating habits and physical activity throughout the school day.

Teachers and school nurses integrated healthy messages in daily classroom teaching so that it begins a healthy habit resulting in environmental and cultural change in those schools. Teachers said the program was fun to do and did not take away from teaching time.
