HOUSTON – Houston Health Foundation (HHF) is seeking applications from small community organizations that serve Hispanic, African American, Asian American, and other minority populations for the disbursement of grants that will address inequities in COVID-19 outreach, expand health education, and increase testing and vaccinations in Houston.
By expanding the capabilities of smaller community groups with financial support, the Houston Health Foundation is working with the Houston Health Department to strengthen community partnerships that will be better able to bring crucial resources and education to vulnerable and hard-to-reach communities during future health emergencies. Each successful grant recipient will be awarded a minimum of $10,000 to a maximum of $50,000 if approved.
