Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Invites Applications for New Jersey Health Initiatives
Deadline: January 15, 2009

New Jersey Health Initiatives 2009, a statewide grantmaking program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (http://rwjf.org/), will support projects that improve the health literacy and status of immigrants in New Jersey communities. Project funds will support collaborative partnerships between culturally competent community-based organizations or other service providers that have gained the trust of immigrant communities and established health service providers.

Applicant organizations must be either nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or public entities such as a unit or department of government or a school board. Private foundations as defined under Section 509(a) are not eligible.

Projects will be selected with the intention of funding a diverse group of grantees based on location (e.g., region of the state, urban/rural), country of origin of the population served, and types of providers.

In 2009, the program expects to make up to ten grants of up to $250,000 each over a three-year period.

See the Call for Proposals at the RWJF Web site for complete program guidelines.
