The Maine Health Access Foundation is seeking applications for its Community Responsive Grants (CRG) program to provide funding for communities to plan or implement projects that align with one or more of MeHAF’s Four Goal Areas.
Donor Name: Maine Health Access Foundation
State: Maine
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 06/13/2022
Grant Size: up to $30,000
Grant Duration: 2 years
Details:
The CRG program is intended to respond to community needs, address emerging opportunities, test innovative approaches or new ideas, or implement programs informed by the experiences of communities on how to address barriers to achieving health equity.
The CRG program grew out of the recognition that those closest to a given problem often have the best ideas about potential solutions. Therefore, MeHAF’s goal is that these grants will focus on improving health equity and that the communities facing inequities in health access or outcomes will lead the project being proposed and will play a central role in developing and implementing the solutions proposed. Funded projects will focus on changing policies, practices, and perceptions that create barriers to health care and good health, and must be organized such that the communities who face the greatest barriers have a leadership role in creating the solutions that address their needs.
