Blue & You grants available
The Blue & You Foundation for a Healthier Arkansas is implementing a new application process for 2024 grant recipients aimed at simplifying the process and expanding funding opportunities for nonprofit and community organizations.
Applicants must submit a letter of intent by April 1 at https://blueandyoufoundationarkansas.org/funding-opportunities/applyfor-funding. On the website, they can also find information about the funding available and how to apply.
Applicants will be notified by June 1 whether their projects have received initial approval, and they will proceed in the process, according to a news release.
Grant recipients can now receive $5,000 to $200,000 for their projects.
Grant projects should fall into one of three categories: behavioral health, social determinants of health, or maternal and pediatric health.
“We have streamlined the doundation’s funding process to better meet the most pressing needs across the state,” said Blue & You Foundation Executive Director Rebecca Pittillo. “By having three focused cycles on behavioral health, maternal and pediatric health and social determinants of health, we expect to receive letters from many organizations proposing innovative programs, giving the foundation the opportunity to fund the best solutions and make the greatest impact across the state.”
Applicants should be a 501c3 charitable organization; a public school, college or university; or a city, county or state governmental agency. Details: blueandyoufoundationarkansas.org.
