Robeson County Social Impact Mini Grants:
Request for Applications
NCHF’s Social Impact Program is seeking proposals for projects within Robeson County, North Carolina that support the advancement of health equity and social impact. Funds will be used to encourage systems-and community-level change that provide upstream solutions for addressing transportation as a social driver of health.
NCHF understands and aims to confront the extensive linkage between transportation and health outcomes driven by accessibility of healthcare, childcare, employment, healthy food, safety, social services, and resources that promote improved wellbeing. Successful applications will propose activities in one or both of the following areas:
- Addressing transportation as a social driver of health: Projects and initiatives that leverage existing resources for cross-sector collaboration including, but not limited to transportation to deploy multi-layered, systems-level approaches to improving health outcomes.
- Building community trust and collaboration around transportation models: Projects and initiatives aimed at building collaboration across organizations or otherwise fostering trust within the community at organizational or individual levels, which will result, in part, in decreasing the impact of transportation as a barrier to health.
