2008 New Grantees Announced
$5.6 Million to be awarded
Partnering with grantmakers across the U.S., the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently allocated $5.6 million in 2008 Local Funding Partnerships (LFP) matching grants. These funds support new projects to improve health outcomes for vulnerable people by addressing complex health and social issues.

One newly funded project, Kinship Cares in Fort Lauderdale, FL, recognizes that children
often lose health care, financial and legal benefits when they live with
family members instead of foster parents.

The Aging Well project in rural Colorado represents a large
coalition and a new system of services to help isolated seniors stay healthy while remaining in their familiar frontier environment.

Please note: the 2009 Call for Proposals is now closed. Thank you to the XX local funders who nominated new community-based projects. LFP is a highly competitive matching grants program that awards $200,000 to $500,000 to creative, collaborative, community-based health projects for society's most vulnerable people.
