Each grant made from our Cultivating Health Grant Program is different. Some grants are unrestricted and multi-year, some are restricted and limited to one year. When feasible, we look to provide flexible multi-year funding. We do not have minimum or maximum grant amounts with this program, grant amounts are determined by weighing the scope of the initiative in relation to our strategic priorities. Because we work closely with each prospective grantee and aim to communicate clearly and timely about the likelihood of funding, most applications to the Cultivating Health Grant Program are approved. Our two-stage application process also ensures that we\u2019re only asking questions that strongly influence our funding decisions.\r\n<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
