Health Initiative announces $30,000 in grants for St. Lawrence County community development projects

Posted

The Health Initiative’s Creating Healthy Places St. Lawrence County Project is looking for grant applicants for community development projects that will improve neighborhoods throughout St. Lawrence County.

A grant, up to $6,000, funded by the New York State Department of Health is available for each of five geographic regions in St. Lawrence County to support sustainable, community-based projects which increase physical activity or promote healthy eating.

Funding can not be used for purchases of consumable items, salary, rent, or infrastructure. A 50 percent in-kind match of cash or services is required.

To discuss a project idea, and to receive a grant application, contact Creating Healthy Places Director Karen Bage, at 261-4760, ext. 224 or karen@gethealthyslc.org.

Deadline for receipt of applications is 4 p.m. Oct. 12.

Following review of the application, a representative from the project will be invited to make a presentation to the Creating Healthy Places Committee on Oct. 25.
