Ira W. DeCamp Foundation

Community Health grants will support community health centers (primarily federally qualified health centers) and select primary care providers in the metropolitan area. The contact person for this initiative is Lindsey Crane, lindsey.s.crane@jpmorgan.com.

Funding will be provided for:

• capacity building (e.g., leadership development, staff training and improving fundraising or other key resources);
• organization improvement activities (e.g., strategic planning; markets, operations and systems analysis; performance measurement and process improvement); and
• capital projects (e.g., renovations, new space acquisition and development, information technology and infrastructure enhancements).

The foundation’s Foster Care Grants Program seeks to support programs in the metropolitan area that address one or more of the following:

1. Programs designed to support service linkages and partnerships with different service providers within the child welfare community (e.g., substance abuse, domestic violence, mental health and housing).
2. Training and strategies to recruit and retain qualified caseworkers and front-line staff at foster care agencies.
3. Recruitment, training, and support for caregivers, including foster parents and kinship caregivers.
4. Services for older and transition age youth, including education, job training, and independent living skills, with a focus on innovative and youth-driven programming.
5. Services for special populations such lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth.
6. Policy and advocacy efforts around issues such as (but not limited to) housing for youth in foster care, legal support for youth in care, updating the foster care rate-setting methodology and sustaining quality-assurance programs.
