CHNA 20’s role as a regional health coalition included providing financial and technical assistance to organizations whose efforts supported our mission and vision in our 13 communities. Historically, the coalition had offered grants to support programs, events, and sustainable change projects that lead to positive, enduring, and replicable outcomes on one or more CHNA 20 priority areas. Unfortunately, due to changes in DoN funding in 2018, the CHNA had to significantly reduce grant making opportunities and instead pivoted to leading regional collective impact projects (see “collective impact” tab).
grant programs
Between 2002 and 2020 we provided over $750,000 in funding across eight different grant programs, highlighted below.
