Application Now Available for Leadership Academy on Expanding Children’s Access to Health Care
Participants Eligible to Receive Additional Planning Grants of up to $30,000 and Implementation Grants of up to $260,000
Cities are invited to apply for participation in one of two leadership academies focused on expanding access to health insurance coverage for children and families. These one-and-a-half-day trainings will help up to 20 city teams learn new ideas and approaches for increasing enrollment in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
Applications are due no later than April 22, and NLC will announce selected cities by May 20. Please notify Dawn Schluckebier (schluckebier@nlc.org) if your city intends to apply.
NLC will host one leadership academy in late July for 10 teams from the Western half of the country, while the other leadership academy will be held in mid-September for 10 teams from the Eastern region (dates and locations to be announced; NLC will cover travel costs for three attendees from each city). Of these 20 local teams, NLC will competitively select 8-10 cities to receive more intensive assistance and up to $30,000 each in pass-through grants to develop strategic plans for connecting children to coverage. Based on these plans, up to six cities will be selected to receive further assistance and implementation grants of up to $260,000 per city over two years.
The Cities Expanding Access to Health Care for Children and Families leadership academies and technical assistance project are sponsored by NLC’s Institute for Youth, Education and Families as part of a three-year, $3.25 million initiative funded by The Atlantic Philanthropies through its national KidsWell Initiative.
Deadline April 22nd
