On Tuesday, August 8, The Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg and Bayfront Health will officially open their joint 2023 grant application process with a kick-off event. The event will be held at the Center for Health Equity and online via Zoom.
The 2023 Grant Application Process
The two organizations will jointly award a combined $2.9 million in funding to be split between two 2023 strategic grantmaking priorities:
- $1.1 million will go towards Mental Health and Wellness for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)
- $1.8 million will fund work in Economic Equity and Justice
“We’re excited to support the South St. Petersburg community with these critical grant funds,” said Bayfront Health St. Petersburg President John Moore. “We strive to be a dependable resource for our community, and we look forward to funding impactful projects through this partnership with the Foundation for a Healthy St Petersburg.”
At the August 8 event, the Foundation and Bayfront Health will provide details on the grant application, also known as a Request for Proposals (RFP). They will let attendees know what kinds of opportunities they’re funding and how to apply. Details will be shared about how proposals will be evaluated by a five-member team of reviewers. This team is comprised of two Bayfront Health and three Foundation representatives.
“We’re so appreciative of this continued partnership with Bayfront Health, which allows us to deepen our impact and investment in the community,” said Foundation President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Kanika Tomalin. “Grantmaking is a key pillar of our work to achieve health equity through racial equity. We are so excited to continue investing in the excellent work being done to improve the lives of people who call St. Petersburg home.”
