In direct response to the needs of the interested members of the community who attended the Forum on October 19, 2016, the dual focus of this grant cycle’s funding is “Access to Healthcare” and “Addressing Mental and Physical Health Needs.” All grant applications must focus on positively impacting one or both of these needs within the community. The BRHF will be awarding the first grants in October 2017. After the first grant cycle, grants will be awarded twice per year, in March and September.
