Focus on Workforce, Economic Development Within Communities

The Endowment for Health awarded more than $3.4 million in grants since the start of the pandemic, supporting a wide array of projects focused on communities and organizations working to alleviate the health, social and economic impacts of COVID-19. Resources helped to address complex social problems that were intensified over the past 16 months, including strengthening the mental health support network, suicide prevention, resources for families with young children, health care workforce stabilization, and championing the work of New Hampshire’s public health professionals.

“The Endowment’s field-building strategy continues to support the work of coalitions and advocacy efforts aimed at driving systems change,” said Endowment for Health Chief Financial Officer Sue Fulton. “Over the past year, the Endowment awarded 77 grants to 40 organizations with an average grant size of more than $39,000,” she said, adding that the Endowment’s support goes beyond grantmaking or dollar size.
