Description
Hampton Roads Community Foundation’s Health and Wellness Community Grants support nonprofit programs improving health in southeastern Virginia, particularly for underserved individuals and families experiencing or at risk of health disparities. Priorities include access to affordable, quality, culturally competent primary, dental, maternal, and mental or behavioral health care.
The program also supports sustained efforts that encourage healthy behaviors to prevent or reduce chronic diseases, such as Type II diabetes, and qualified care for expectant mothers at high risk of maternal mortality, including services from doulas and midwives. Desired results include connections to a medical home, improved health status, successful births, and increased knowledge and healthier behaviors related to chronic disease or prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care. Programs exclusively involving outreach and awareness are not supported.
