Description
Firland Foundation’s Community Grants support sustainable improvements in tuberculosis and basic health care for underserved populations. The program emphasizes locally developed, community-based solutions that deliver immediate, tangible benefits while establishing long-term, self-sustaining programs for children and families. Grants can serve as seed money to initiate innovative projects with partners, and the foundation occasionally funds work related to other chronic lung diseases.
Supported activities include establishing medical clinics, training health workers, and providing equipment and supplies to existing clinics and hospitals. Clean water, health education, and micro-business projects may also receive support when necessary to achieve the primary health care objective. Firland emphasizes measurable results, reliable reporting, and collaboration that broadens project reach and uses existing infrastructure.
