PROJECT OVERVIEW
The goal of this approach is to ensure the organizations best situated to meet the needs of Michigan’s racial and ethnic minority populations receive funding to implement community-identified and defined strategies. Our priority audience is organizations that address the direct and indirect impacts of the COVID-19 public health pandemic.
Funds shall assist local organizations in accomplishing the following goals:
- A reduction in COVID-19 disparities in impacted communities, specifically among Michigan’s five racial ethnic minority populations.
- Planned reduction of community-identified priority risk factors, development and implementation of practices and policies to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes.
- Community-driven, not agency-driven, decision-making and priority setting.
SCOPE
Proposed activities must focus on one or more of the following strategies:
1. Expand existing and/or develop new mitigation and prevention resources and services to reduce COVID-19-related disparities among populations at higher risk and that are underserved.
2. Mobilize partners and collaborators to advance health equity and address social determinants of health as they relate to COVID-19 health disparities among underserved populations at higher risk.
ELIGIBILITY
Evidence of 501c3 Status and/or fiduciary agreement
