2010 Core Grants - Deadline to apply July 1
The Network is happy to announce the release of the 2010-2011 CORE Grant Request for Proposals!
This
funding resource, supported by the EC Brown Foundation, is intended to
support SBHC projects and programs surrounding the topic of youth
sexual health and healthy student relationships for up to $10,000 per
project. Please read the complete RFA for further details.
Application Due Date: Thursday, July 1, 2010.
Coming soon!
For
those SBHCs who feel they don't quite have the capacity to create and
implement a program around youth sexual health/ healthy relationships,
The Network will be releasing applications for capacity-building seed
funds in the very near future.
These dollars, also supported
by the EC Brown Foundation, are intended for smaller SBHCs in more
rural and isolated regions that would like extra support in developing
their resources, strategic planning, and in-state staff development
training around the topic of youth sexual health and healthy student
relationships.

The Network is looking for personal stories that demonstrate the great need for SBHCs in Oregon.
