SQ Foundation Invites Applications for Healthcare Grant Program to Help Uninsured Patients
Deadline: July 15, 2011

The SQ Foundation, a nonprofit foundation created in 2009 by SQA Pharmacy Services to enhance the health and well-being of underserved individuals, is accepting applications for its Better Health for Living program, which awards grants to nonprofit organizations and government agencies that provide health services to low-income individuals, including those without health insurance or whose insurance coverage needs to be supplemented.

Grants will be awarded to nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations and government entities (including but not limited to local health departments and state agencies) located in the states of Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Massachusetts, and Tennessee. Applicants must offer programs designed to improve in significant and measurable ways the health of those without health insurance or those in need of health insurance supplementation. Service areas may include but are not limited to pharmacy care, behavioral health, primary care, dental care, and health education.

Grants will range from $4,000 to $8,000 each. In 2010, the foundation awarded a total of five grants to healthcare organizations in three states.
