MFH Funding Framework
Missouri Foundation for Health has restructured its funding framework, with a goal of helping communities develop locally-based solutions and partnerships that will improve the health of their residents. This new structure enables MFH to:
• Be more responsive to community needs.
• Better integrate efforts that support long-term, sustainable improvements in the health of all residents.
The new framework will be used to guide MFH’s 2012 funding efforts. This framework does not impact any MFH grants approved prior to Dec. 31, 2011.
Five funding areas comprise the framework:
• Community Health and Prevention
• External Programs
• Health Policy
• Services Delivery
• Systems Development
MFH also is continuing two “cross-cutting” funding efforts:
• Basic Support
• Emergency Funding
MFH is working to fully develop specific funding opportunities for each area. Turn to the Funding Programs Overview page for the most current information; it will be updated regularly as programs are developed.
NEXT STEPS FOR ORGANIZATIONS
In previous years, MFH has been able to provide a significant amount of detail by October about its funding opportunities for the coming year. However, that is not the case this year. MFH is working to flesh out the framework described above.
