Funding Opportunity: Ready or Not, Here it Comes: Preparing for Success in Rapidly Changing Times


Funding Opportunity: Ready or Not, Here it Comes: Preparing for Success in Rapidly Changing Times
8/16/2012

The Health Foundation for Western and Central New York recognizes the challenges many health and human service organizations face in maintaining the quality of the services they provide to young children and seniors during turbulent times.
The economic recession, Medicaid redesign in New York State, the Affordable Care Act, Accountable Care Organizations and meaningful use are just a few examples of profound changes that are impacting not only the health care system, but also the communities served by the Health Foundation. 
For the organizations within our two regions that serve young children and frail elders, keeping up with these changes and their impact is challenging, but essential. 
The Foundation announced a funding opportunity to help eligible organizations successfully plan for and respond strategically to the ever-changing economic and policy environment on Thursday, August 16, 2012. 
The Foundation expects that with this one-time infusion of funds, organizations will be better able to provide effective programs and supports to those they serve, and in the long term, ultimately improve health outcomes for children in poverty and/or frail elders.
The Foundation expects to make awards ranging from $25,000 to $50,000 to 12 to 15 organizations for up to an 18-month period beginning in December 2012.

Eligible applicants must:
  • Currently offer programming, services or care to children ages birth to five living in communities of poverty, or frail elders living in the community.
The deadline to apply is 5 p.m., Friday, September 14, 2012.
For more information, details on eligibility and how to apply, please see the attached Funding Opportunity announcement.
