Amounts
The maximum amount of an award is $1,000. Smaller requests are encouraged. A member can only receive one grant per calendar year.
Eligibility
Expectations
These funds are intended as "seed" money and should be only a portion of a larger project or idea. The applicant must at least "match" the amount requested and provide the total estimated cost of your project so that the Board Members can consider the portion of the costs that they are being asked to provide. (i.e.: the seed money pays a workshop registration fee and the agency covers travel costs; the seed money pays for a FAX machine and the agency covers the phone line costs; the seed money buys a single piece of equipment for a new clinic or ambulance).
The applicant must agree to submit a follow-up letter explaining how the grant was used and the realized benefits, any photographs if taken, publicity and media coverage, such as newspaper articles if available, and applicant must be willing to share information with other rural healthcare providers through e-mail, phone calls, and presentations.
