Health in a New Key Partnership Grants
Together we can improve the health of our communities! SLHI is in search of community partnerships that:
- Connect people
- Define issues that will build healthy communities
- Develop innovative solutions for lasting change
- Foster individual and community assets
- Recognize opportunities and take action
If these qualities describe you and your community partners, we would like to talk to you about applying for an SLHI Health in a New Key Partnership Grant.
How to Get Started
First, read about our Goals and Philosophy, What We’re Looking For and the principles and approach of Health in a New Key. They will provide you with background and significant insights into the mission of SLHI and how we work.
Second, start the grant application process through a conversation with SLHI staff. We’d like to hear your thoughts regarding the following questions:
- How do you define your community?
- What health-related issue do you want to address?
- Who else in your community is interested and/or engaged with this issue?
- What action do you want to take?
- How does your proposed work lend itself to community- and strength-based strategies?
- How will you know if you are successful?
Our best investments are collaborative efforts that may entail multiple meetings and/or discussions about the proposed plan prior to the submission of an actual proposal. If we find that there is a mutual fit, a formal proposal is then submitted by program staff to the SLHI Board of Trustees for their consideration twice a year — in September/October and February/March. (How to Apply)
Remember — talk to us before you submit a proposal. The SLHI Board of Trustees will consider only those proposals from organizations that have had prior discussion with program staff.
