The Health Foundation of Central Massachusetts is inviting new grant applications for its Activation Fund in 2017.
The Activation Fund supports discrete, one-year projects in Central Massachusetts that demonstrate creative and innovative approaches to addressing community health concerns; move an organization to its next level of capacity and effectiveness, which can be sustained beyond the term of the grant; or explore emerging health challenges and opportunities. Activation Fund grants range from approximately $10,000 to $100,000. In 2015, the average grant was around $71,000.
