Robert Wood Johnson Foundation – Local Funding Partnerships Program
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Local Funding Partnerships (LFP) program forges relationships between the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and local grantmakers to fund promising, original projects that can significantly improve the health of vulnerable people in their communities. Acknowledging that factors such as violence, poverty, inadequate housing and education contribute to poor health, grantees find original, pragmatic ways to make better health possible in the context of difficult life circumstances.
Eligible programs are new, innovative and community-based. Projects must be nominated by a local grantmaker committed to participating as one of the funding partners. Local funding partners must be willing to work with grantees to obtain sufficient dollar-for-dollar matching funds during the grant period. These funders may be independent and private foundations, family and community foundations, and corporate or other philanthropies. Up to 14 matching grants of between $200,000 to $500,000 each will be awarded.
Deadline: April 15, 2009
Please Note: The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools (CHHCS) does not administer this funding opportunity.
