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.
- Currently be located
in and serve one of these populations in one or more of the 16
counties in HFWCNY’s funding region.
The
deadline to apply is 5
p.m., Friday, September 14, 2012.
