Healthcare Georgia Foundation Awards $1.3 Million in Grants
The Healthcare Georgia Foundation in Atlanta has announced grants totaling $1.3 million to twenty-nine organizations and programs working to strengthen the state's healthcare safety net and improve the health of Georgians.
Grants include a total of $550,000 in cycle-based funding to support the core operations or improve the administrative infrastructure of thirteen nonprofits working in the foundation's priority areas: addressing health disparities, expanding access to affordable quality healthcare services, promoting health and preventing disease, and strengthening and sustaining health nonprofit organizations, programs, and workforce. They include $50,000 to the Health Initiative and $42,000 each to Community Health Mission and Health Education Assessment and Leadership (HEAL).
In addition, the foundation awarded $110,000 to the Group Health Research Institute to complete development and implementation of the Georgia Evaluation Resource Center (ERC), a program that provides evaluation tools and services to help nonprofits achieve better outcomes.
"Healthcare Georgia Foundation is strongly committed, both internally and externally, to achieving better outcomes," said the foundation's president, Gary D. Nelson. "Our new grantmaking approach, coupled with the launch of the ERC, will help ensure that we leverage our limited resources for maximum impact."
