Building a Culture of Health with Mini Grants
Palm Health Foundation’s Healthier Together communities and BeWellPBC support mini grant programs that are making huge impact throughout our community. Mini grants are just what they sound like – small amounts of funding that local organizations and individuals can apply to receive. The foundation has been amazed and inspired by the way that these grants have launched brand new programs and furthered the reach of local efforts to better resident health and wellbeing.
We’ve collected mini grant stories on our YouTube channel so you can see how truly impactful they are. Visit our channel to see:
“Healthier Neighbors Mini Grants” - Jeanette Marshall, project director of Healthier Neighbors, explains her community’s mini grant process and how the residents and organizations receiving the funding are advancing behavioral health for their neighbors in unexpected, innovative ways.
“I am Serenity” – A natural hair stylist starts a program out of her salon that educates local young ladies on caring for their natural hair. Participants also meet and learn how to journal their feelings and build confidence and self-esteem.
“Bridge to Infinity” – Douglas Lawson launches a youth entrepreneurial program focused on the working class. Participants learn skills in financial literacy, including investing, savings and credit.
“BarberShopTalks” – A local pastor launches a program that creates a safe space for men to come together and verbally process their thoughts and feelings, and seek counsel from other men in their community.
