Funding Opportunities

EC Brown Foundation 2013-2014 CORE Grants

Request for Applications 

Through the generous support of the EC Brown Foundation, the CORE mini-grant program seeks to assist school-based health centers (SBHCs) as they work with school-aged youth to develop healthy relationship skills and knowledge, with a specific focus on personal, social, and sexual health. 

The CORE mini-grant program funds SBHC-based projects that support youth social and sexual health, healthy youth relationships, as well as SBHC staff skill development relating to youth social and sexual health. 

Projects should have a budget of $10,000 or less and must be achievable within a one-year timeframe.  Grant funding will vary based on the scope of the activities in approved grants as well as the number of SBHCs or partners involved.  Total CORE awards available will be $45,000, contingent on funding
 
We are open to a wide variety of projects and activities.  You can think large or small, use new approaches or those that are evidence-based, and the Network can help you develop your project.
