The Community Health Impact Initiative supports health-focused, community-based organizations with bold ideas to address health challenges in any of the Health Fund’s focus areas. You can find more information on each focus area on this page.
The 2021 Community Health Impact program focuses on three tracks:
- Collaboration – with the goal of increasing or improving collaboration among providers, service agencies, the business community, and community-based organizations to address health issues in a sustainable way.
- Community-based programming – with the goal of empowering communities to solve their most pressing health issues and successfully implement health-focused, community driven interventions.
- Capacity building – with the goal of increasing health-focused, community-based organizations’ effectiveness and sustainability across Michigan
Applicants may chose to apply for a grant under any of these tracks. Please see the requests for proposals for more information.
Answers to any questions we did not get to during the presentation will be available early next week.
