Grants of up to $5,000 to Iowa nonprofits, schools, and health-promoting groups for programs and projects that address the health needs of residents in the funding source's service area. The service area covered for this grant includes the communities of Aplington, Beaman, Conrad, Dike, Eldora, Gladbrook, Grundy Center, Holland, Hudson, Morrison, Lincoln, Parkersburg, Reinbeck, Steamboat Rock, Stout, and Wellsburg.
An innovative new tool from the Grundy County Memorial Hospital Foundation allows nonprofit organizations, schools, and health-promoting groups to make use of this program to impact health needs in their communities.
Funding is ultimately intended to promote the development of new and creative ways of (a) delivering programming on health-promoting topics, or (b) delivering a specific service that addresses a community health need.
Grant requests need to address at least one of the specific areas of:
- Access to health care
- Chronic disease management
- Prevention of health conditions or disease
- Wellness (activities designed to support healthy behaviors in the community or workplace)
The project’s primary goal must reflect an improvement in the health status of local residents. New and creative ideas for programming are encouraged, and preference will be given to grants that address unmet community health needs.
Grants may fund staff time, materials, supplies, and publicity costs.
