The Wolf Administration and United Way of Pennsylvania launched the Local Innovations in Vaccine Equity in Pennsylvania project (LIVE PA) to administer $4 million in mini-grants to local organizations and $630,000 for faith-based organizations aimed to reduce vaccine hesitancy and ensuring an equitable vaccine distribution throughout the commonwealth.
Donor Name: United Way of Pennsylvania

Details:
LIVE PA is a collaboration between the Wolf Administration’s Office of Advocacy and Reform and the departments of Health and Human Services, working closely with United Way of Pennsylvania to fund hyper-local, grassroots nonprofit organizations to partner with certified vaccine providers to help the populations they serve overcome barriers to vaccination.
Under this initiative community-based coalitions can apply to their local United Ways for flexible funding and additional vaccine allocations in order to bring vaccinations to the gathering places and even the doorsteps of minority and vulnerable populations (African Americans, Latinos, immigrants, refugees, people who are elderly and isolated, people experiencing homelessness, urban and rural populations living in poverty, single parents, etc.) in areas of disparity and need across the state (excluding Philadelphia county).
Funding Information
Minimum impact would be 20 people vaccinated for a $400 grant. Maximum would be 2,000 people vaccinated for a $40,000 grant.
Eligibility Criteria
Municipal entities, community-based organizations, and local nonprofit health centers are invited to submit innovation plans to request funding and, if needed, additional vaccine.
