Community Enhancement Fund
The Grant County Community Health Council (GCCHC) and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold are accepting proposals for community capacity-building speakers and trainings. The “Community Enhancement Fund” provides funds for speakers and training programs for community organizations, coalitions, entities community members that otherwise would not be able to access them due to the cost of the speaker or travel cost of the training. By bringing the event to Grant County, it increases the number of organizations and community members that are able to attend. Since the Fund's conception in 2006, over $168, 700 has been awarded to community partners!
This opportunity will allow people and organizations in Grant County to experience a training event as a community, rather than as separate agencies. Most importantly the community training and or speaker will increase the skill level and knowledge of organizations in the community and then transfer this into activities. The GCCHC will assist the organizations and entities with the activities by providing support through our community action teams in order to keep the activity process sustainable.
The broad mission of GCCHC is to enhance the quality of life in Grant Place through needs assessment, planning and prioritizing, and coordination of efforts to meet those needs. The Health Council has five priority areas to guide policies, operations and grant making. The priorities are behavioral health, community safety, family resiliency, fitness and nutrition, and economic development. Accordingly, GCCHC will give priority to proposals that have the potential to bring about community capacity building in these areas. Members of GCCHC's Criteria Committee will review proposals, with final review from a representative from Freeport-McMoRan. Notification of Award will be two to four weeks after proposal submission.
