Capacity Strengthening Initiative Now Accepting Applications
The Center for Health Equity (CHE) is excited to announce a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Capacity Strengthening Grant (CSG) program, which will award $1.832 million in state general funds for smaller community and faith-based organizations serving BIPOC communities, American Indians, LGBTQIA+ people, and people living with disabilities among metro and rural communities across Minnesota. Proposals are due by November 20, 2023.
CHE will leverage this new funding to strengthen the existing capacity of community and faith-based organizations to be successful in procuring grants and contracts at the department, and to support them in their ongoing efforts to address health inequities. Applicants will be asked to provide a plan that includes, but is not limited to, activities contributing to three key objectives: strengthening organizational partnerships to improve health outcomes, infrastructure improvement to be better equipped for success, and workforce development to create a positive impact. More information can be found on the 2023 Capacity Strengthening Initiative RFP webpage, see link below.
