$14 Million in Health Grants; Proposals Due Sept. 4

[Guest guest]

Dear Members of the Health-care

Community:

The Kresge Foundation is

offering a new grant opportunity with a deadline of September 4, 2009.

Called the The Health

Clinic Opportunity Fund, it targets free clinics, public health clinics and

those designated federally qualified health center look-alikes to support and

strengthen their capacity to meet both the immediate and long-term health needs

of their constituents. Grants ranging from $75,000 to $150,000 per year for a

maximum of two years will be provided to build the operational capacity of

charitable health clinics, public-health clinics, and those designated as

federally qualified health center look-alikes. Please note: federally qualified

health centers are not eligible to apply.

To learn more and to apply

online, visit the Caring

Communities page on the Kresge Foundation (www.kresge.org).

Another

opportunity, beginning September 1, 2009, is the Safety-net Enhancement

Initiative, a new grant opportunity that seeks to demonstrate how community

health centers can address health disparities, enhance service delivery and

care, and improve outcomes through collaboration and regional partnerships.

Grant

monies will support strategic partnerships around population health between

community-health centers and one or more anchor institutions, such as a public

hospital system, public health department or school system. We define

community-health centers as organizations that provide primary care services to

low-income patients, including those designated federally qualified health

centers and health center look-alikes, public health clinics, school-based

health centers, nurse-managed clinics, and voluntary free clinics, among

others.

To

learn more and to apply online, visit the Caring

Communities page on the Kresge Foundation.

If you have questions,

please contact Kresge’s Grants Inquiry Coordinator at info@... or call 248-643-9630.

Thank you.
