Grant Alert Detail
Mobilizing Action Toward Community Health
Sponsor: Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Submitted: 4/25/2011 12:00:00 AM
A new Community Grants program from RWJF called Mobilizing Action Toward Community Health (MATCH) will help spark action in communities to address the many factors that influence health. As the County Health Rankings illustrate, social and economic factors such as education and employment can affect health directly and indirectly, and those negative effects may accumulate over individuals’ lifetimes and continue unbroken through generations. The first round of the Community Grants program is open to communities that are ready to take action to address the social and economic factors that affect health—factors which have a significant impact on health outcomes, yet are often ignored in community health improvement activities.
Up to 14 grants will be awarded in this solicitation. Grantees will receive awards up to $200,000 for up to 24 months to implement their proposed policy or systems change strategy. To be eligible, an applicant organization must be located in the United States or its territories and be a: nonprofit organization that is tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; tribal group recognized by the U.S. federal government; or state or local agency.
Deadline: April 27, 2011
