HEALTHY PLACES NC FUNDING OPPORTUNITY
Healthy Places North Carolina
Many Eastern North Carolina organizations are mobilizing to improve their communities in four broad areas of work: mitigating and preventing adverse childhood experiences and toxic stress; addressing substance use and overdose deaths; building equitable food systems; and creating equitable recreation opportunities. Most of these efforts align with goals identified in the state’s Healthy 2030 plan. The Trust is interested in supporting movement and network building to improve the policies and systems driving health inequities.
Steps to Apply
Overview
Goal

Strategy

Conduct broad-based communications, community education, and advocacy efforts that advance goals.

Details
Across eastern North Carolina and targeted communities around the state, there are grassroots movements to improve health in many ways. The Trust is interested in supporting the growth of these movements and changing the conversation to ensure that systemically marginalized people are able to lead community change efforts. For the current opportunity, the Trust is interested in assisting groups working for systemic change in food and recreation systems, mitigating adverse childhood experiences, and reducing substance use deaths. Networks in the Southeast and Northeast regions of the state are building new connections across the food system, mapping and addressing adverse childhood experiences and trauma, and shaping how opioid settlement dollars are spent at the local level. The Trust plans to consider proposals that advance these existing efforts.
