Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) invites nonprofits, local government and the community to learn about new grants to reduce tobacco use, obesity and the health problems they cause.
MFH has been approved for match funds through the federal government’s Social Innovation Funding program, and is launching a new grant initiative called Social Innovation for Missouri, or SIM. Grants under this program will help community partners organize to improve the health of Missourians.
Plan to attend one of MFH’s upcoming SIM informational meetings to learn more about this new funding program. Details are below:
