American Heart Association increases health mini-grant funding for COVID-19 relief programs
Application deadline extended through April 6
The American Heart Association is working to improve heart health among North Carolina’s most at-risk populations. Part of this initiative includes a call for mini-grants for communities to implement their ideas to promote heart health in the Triangle (Wake, Durham, and Orange counties), Triad (Guilford and Forsyth counties), and Charlotte (Mecklenburg, Gaston, and Union counties). With the increased community needs due to the coronavirus pandemic, the American Heart Association is nearly doubling the initial community mini-grant investment of $20,000 for each of the markets.
Community partners are encouraged to continue applying for mini-grants ranging from $2,500 – $10,000 to support heart healthy policies and environments focusing specifically on COVID-19 relief. Individuals or community organizations that have already submitted applications are welcome to submit an additional COVID-19 focused application. To apply and for more information, interested partners should visit www.heart.org. The community health mini-grant application deadline is April 6, 2020.
