2025 Community Health Grant Cycle for Northern Arizona
Focus
The focus of this year's cycle is on northern Arizona's adolescents priority health needs.
We seek to fund programs that support initiatives or educational programs that enhance the health and well-being of babies and youth (from birth to 18 years old) by addressing key areas of health access, behavioral or mental health, mitigating chronic conditions. Projects should focus on improving equitable access to healthcare services, promoting healthy behaviors, supporting mental health, managing chronic conditions, and addressing factors such as housing, education, or community resources that influence overall health outcomes for young people.
This purpose emphasizes a comprehensive approach to supporting youth by focusing on the various health factors that contribute to their well-being
