Healthy for Life
Deadline January 13, 2012
The Menorah Legacy Foundation is seeking grant proposals that proactively improve health and wellness by fostering long term, transformational change in individual or community behaviors. The ideal grant in this category would impact mind, body and spirit for individuals and/or communities.
In 2012, strong consideration will be given to grant proposals conducting pediatric research. Of those proposals, there is an interest in innovative efforts to address pediatric obesity; however, all pediatric research proposals will be considered with equal weight. Proposals ideally will employ a collaborative approach of replicating a single clinical model at a participating health center(s) and are supported by technical assistance and data collection.
We seek to provide seed money to innovative, trailblazing programs that will draw other funders as the programs become established. In 2012, the Foundation will have approximately $300,000 available for funding. Therefore, while there is no minimum or maximum amount for requests, the Foundation asks that you carefully consider the total amount available when preparing your request.
Collaboration and the leveraging of funds are important to the Foundation, and preference will be given to applicants that leverage resources from other sources. It is recommended that matching funds use a balanced approach of cash and in-kind resources.
The Foundation reserves the right to reject any or all proposals submitted, to request additional information or clarification from any or all applicants, and/or negotiate modifications with applicants at any time before, during or after the award process.
Grant awards are made at the sole discretion of the Foundation. No entitlement to funding for any organization at any level is expressed or implied. Successful applicants enter into a contract that gives the Foundation rights to review and evaluate grant-funded activities.
