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.
Kinship Cares

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.

Aging Well

 

 

 

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.
