The Health Foundation of Central Massachusetts (THFCM) is pleased to announce that it is inviting new grant applications in 2019 for both the Activation Fund and Health Care and Health Promotion Synergy Initiative ("Synergy Initiative") .
The Activation Fund supports discrete, one-year projects in Central Massachusetts that demonstrate creative and innovative approaches to addressing community health concerns and that move an organization to its next level of capacity and effectiveness, which can be sustained beyond the term of the grant.
The Synergy Initiative provides three to five years of funding for collaborative projects that target health issues in Central Massachusetts with integrated, comprehensive strategies aimed at systems or policy change.
Information about the guidelines for each of these funding opportunities can be found on the Foundation's website at www.hfcm.org to assess the fit of a proposed project with either the Activation Fund or Synergy Initiative. Interested parties are asked to meet with Sonia Shah, Senior Program Officer, about the Activation Fund or Amie Shei, Vice President for Programs, about the Synergy Initiative before submitting a Letter of Intent.
