Request For Proposals For Small Grants Issued

The following press release was issued by the Portage Health Foundation:

[Hancock, MI] The Portage Health Foundation (PHF) is releasing its 2019 Small Grants Request for Proposal (RFP) again for the second year. PHF recognized that grants large and small play a significant role in the community’s ability to meet the needs of the community. Often times, the need for funding support is minimal and may not necessitate the complexity of application of larger grant requests. This call for proposal is designed to offer smaller levels of funding support to meet the needs of the community that focus on health related events, activities, or needs.

The intention of these grants is to support projects that will have an impact on community health and wellness while addressing the systemic health needs and risk factors of the broader community. Further, it is hoped and desired that proposals seeking funding will have identified key components to support sustainability and/or systems change to ensure ongoing delivery of services to meet community need.

PHF expects to award up to $20,000 in total with a maximum per award up to $2,000. Applications are due to the PHF office by March 15, 2019 at 3:30 pm. Eligibility requirements and RFP details can be found at phfgive.org on the Grant Requests page under the Targeted Request for Proposal heading. Interested parties can reach out to the PHF office by calling 906-523-5920 or emailing info@phfgive.org.
