Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation is sponsoring a “Rethink Your Drink” grant program.

Iowa school districts can apply for free water bottle filling stations in school buildings. Schools that are selected will have their drinking fountains replaced with a new Elkay water fountain/bottle filling station.  All students and staff will also receive reusable water bottles and an opportunity for an additional $500 to design and implement an educational campaign encouraging students to drink more water throughout the school day.

School districts can apply by clicking the link below and submitting their application by September 22nd. Priority will be given to school districts with communities with optimally fluoridated water, highest rates of free and reduced price lunch and districts that don’t have a water bottle filling station installed in their buildings.

The “Rethink Your Drink” campaign offers $100,000 to install water bottle filling stations.
