This free event is presented through a partnership with Mid-Iowa Health Foundation, Iowa Department of Public Health, and United Way of Central Iowa.
In 2011 the Mid-Iowa Health Foundation Board of Directors undertook a strategic visioning process. While priorities for our two grantmaking programs are shifting beginning in 2012, and Community Response proposals will be reviewed once annually, our commitment to the health of vulnerable people in our community remains steadfast. Please check back here in the coming months for updates and details on the new Community Response application and fall deadline.
