Grant Tip of the Month |
| Many RFPs require the project narrative to be formatted with line spacing of 1.5 or higher. Single spacing in tables, however, is considered standard practice and an approved exception to line-spacing requirements.
Further, tables often employ a font size that is one point smaller than the accompanying text. Both of these formatting exceptions allow you to present a lengthy set of goals and objectives in much less space when using the table format. |

The goal over the next five years is to promote health among vulnerable individuals and communities through programming that: empowers individuals, mobilizes communities, engages institutions, improves health care quality and access, and informs public and marketplace policy. Grant making takes into account the social and economic determinants of health within a person’s community; the quality of health institutions within that community; and the policies that determine how health services are organized, provided, and financed. Grant making also targets communities, health care systems, and public health as centers of change.
Eligible Applicants: Eligible organizations include nonprofit organizations with 501 (c) 3 status.
