Major Grants
In 2010, Allegany Franciscan Ministries will provide one-, two-, and three- year grants to support organizations whose missions are aligned with our focus of improving the overall health status of individuals and creating healthy communities through reducing ethnic and racial disparities in economically poor and disinvested communities. Organizations with programs and initiatives that utilize community and neighborhood assets to promote culturally competent health care in these communities are encouraged to submit funding requests to support general operating and program costs that are necessary for the organization to carry out its mission and have an impact on those in need.
