Impact Areas
Consideration will be given to program proposals that address the outlined impact areas:
- Economic Stability: One component of achieving self-sufficiency is access to specialized education or training in an environment that provides pathways to employment opportunities, the ability to earn a living wage, and the capacity to create and build assets.
- Education: Providing every child with a high-quality education is among their most important responsibilities as a community. Educational attainment is an incredibly consequential factor in determining whether children will reach their full potential as healthy, self-sufficient adults.
- Health and Wellness: Healthy communities are strong communities. When residents are at their best health they are active community members free from physical and mental illness, chronic disease, and injury. They are surrounded by opportunities to exercise, eat healthy, and live and play in safe neighborhoods.
- Family Support and Social Connectedness: Social connectedness refers to an individual’s engagement in an interactive web of key relationships within a community. They envision a community in which all people are connected to the people, networks, processes, and systems they need to live healthy, productive, and meaningful lives. Strong formal relationships between organizations and support services can help better ensure that services are delivered and promote a client’s sense of well-being.
