Programs that have improved the health outcomes of at-risk populations in Florida may apply for awards of up to $120,000 from the Blue Foundation for a Healthy Florida.
The foundation's Sapphire Award recognizes community health programs that have “demonstrated excellence and impact in improving the health-related outcomes of Florida's at-risk populations and communities.” Awards are made with an eye on promoting greater long-term support for effective services.
The grantmaker is particularly interested in programs that build on community assets, enhance organizational capacity, foster systemic change, and/or lead to lasting policy changes that improve health.
The award recognizes and awards community health programs that have demonstrated success and high merit. It is not a grant program. Nominations should not be based on the idea of raising funds without regard to recognizing demonstrated success.
Applications for the award are due May 12. For more details, see the foundation's website.
