Deadline- June 21, 2012
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan has announced that it is accepting applications for Strengthening the Safety Net: Improving Health Care Access Through Michigan’s Free Clinics, a program that provides grants to free health clinics serving the state’s low-income, uninsured, and underinsured residents.
If program funds remain after all noncompetitive grants are awarded, Blue Cross may provide a very limited number of highly competitive grants of up to $50,000 to support innovative proposals from free clinics meeting additional eligibility criteria. These proposals must involve creative approaches that result in sustainable expansion of the number of uninsured or underinsured patients served, number of services provided or types of services provided. Competitive grant applicants will submit a more detailed grant narrative and separate budget request.
Eligibility-
To be eligible, clinics must be based in Michigan with a mission to serve low-income, uninsured, or underinsured patients, be a nonprofit organization or a community-based nonprofit organization paired with a 501(c)(3) organization serving as fiduciary, and must have been operational for at least three years.
