Healthcare Session 3 - Funding Excellent Healthcare
- 337 reads
There is a renaissance in interest in rural health from the foundation community. Participants will be challenged to consider converging factors that influence of the growing foundation footprint in rural health, health disparities between rural and urban, and the interconnectedness between health and human service issues in rural America. Join us for a primer on rural grant seeking and understanding how relationships with funders can be built for mutual good. A panel of experts will provide information and discussion on financially supporting healthcare in your community. In addition to philanthropic opportunities, federal and state funding will also be presented. Funding excellent health and healthcare is a challenge for any community, but rural communities have unique opportunities and obstacles to ensure equity for healthcare and to make communities more well. This session will provide participants with a radically different framework for addressing health: focus on the assets of the community and find funding that’s a fit for the unique capacity of your community. The session will include strategies and key questions to consider when seeking grants, resources for finding funding opportunities, and positioning for the future with private foundations.
Speakers:
- Teryl Eisinger, CEO, National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health
