The Healthcare Georgia Foundation is seeking applications for its 2022 Direct Services Grant Program to promote health and well-being and to prevent and manage chronic diseases (asthma, cardiovascular disease and diabetes) across the lifespan of all Georgians with attention to traditionally marginalized communities.
Donor Name: Healthcare Georgia Foundation
State: Georgia
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 07/22/2022
Grant Size: up to $50,000
Grant Duration: 12 months
Details:
The Foundation has selected three high-burden costly chronic diseases that have proven evidence-based interventions and will award grants to support evidence-based programs that address:
- Asthma
- Cardiovascular disease, with an emphasis on heart disease and stroke
- Diabetes
The 2022 Direct Services Grant Program supports new or existing evidence-based, promising approaches or best practice healthcare services or health promotion programs in both community and clinical settings. Expansion of existing healthcare services or health promotion programs based on effective interventions is also allowable. If requesting funds for a new program or expanding an existing program, the applicant must clearly demonstrate the ability to support and sustain the program beyond the requested funding from the Foundation.
Funding Information
Applicants may apply for up to $50,000 for a 12-month grant period.
What they Fund
Direct program costs can include expenditures on activities related to the functions of the program, including:
- Salaries/benefits for existing or new staff for program-specific activities. If you are proposing to hire new staff, you must include how you plan to sustain the position after the Foundation’s grant ends. Additionally, if you are creating a new position, attach a copy of the job description(s)
- Program-related equipment (e.g. laptop/desktop computers, iPads, and printers) (maximum of 10% of total grant request)
- Other direct expenses (staff training, meetings/convenings, printing, etc.)
- Consulting fees
- Evaluation (minimum of at least 10% of the total grant request)
- Grant-related travel
- Indirect expenses (maximum of 10% of total direct costs)
Eligibility Criteria
- Nonprofit organizations, including nonprofit hospitals, which are exempt from Federal income tax under provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code and defined as “not a private foundation” under Section 509(a).
- Quasi-governmental agencies.
- Public Health Districts (limit 1 application per public health district)
- Organizations located in Georgia with programs targeting Georgia residents.
- Previously funded organizations must be in good standing with the Foundation (e.g., submitted progress and final reports and met grant objectives). Staff will determine whether previous grantees sufficiently complied with the grantee requirements.
- Given the Foundation’s commitment to populations that have been traditionally marginalized, the Foundation encourages engagement, diversity, representation, and inclusivity in the boards, staff and individuals served by the organizations we fund. This principle is shaped by the conviction that all segments of society benefit from diversity and equal opportunity
