The Heartland Foundation plans to offer around $50,000 in grants through the 2016 Healthy Partnership grant cycle in Northwest Missouri.

The Heartland Foundation along with North Kansas City Hospital and Mosaic Life Care have announced the opening of their 2016 Healthy Partnerships grant cycle.

Proposals for these matching grant funds must be submitted by two or more organizations partnering to propose new solutions that address opportunities for promoting healthy eating and active living in their communities. This year, approximately $50,000 is available to award to
selected grantees. Grants of up to $25,000 are possible; however, average awards are in the range of $5,000 to $10,000. Projects must exhibit creative thinking and may be focused on one community or serve several neighboring communities throughout the region.

The Healthy Partnerships program was created in 1990 to offer matching grants to collaborative groups testing innovative programs to impact their communities’ health. The program continues to encourage and fund innovative outcomes-based, collaborative initiatives to benefit the 19-county northwest Missouri region.
