Long-term
sustainability is a major issue for all Healthy Start projects.
Diversifying your funding base beyond your federal grant takes time
and effort. Click the links below for resources that might be of
assistance to you in expanding resources to sustain your project.
The information contained
on the following pages is for informational purposes only and does not
signify that a particular foundation or agency will support your program.
Research each organization thoroughly to make sure you follow the application
process and that your request meets their requirements and program areas.
Note, also, that many foundations offer “out-of-program” awards,
for initiatives that do not meet their specific funding interests, but
are meritorious and somehow fit their mission. Don’t submit an
application just hoping they will fund you, though. Make a contact and
find out if they would be interested. You have to cultivate the decision-makers
and foundation staff.
