What's New!
2012/13 Healthy Communities Fund - Apply Now!
Applications for non-capital projects under the Healthy Communities Fund (HCF) Grant Program are now being accepted.
Priority will be given to projects that focus on the health of Aboriginal people, children and youth, ethnic communities, Francophone communities, low-income persons, older adults, people with disabilities, and women and girls.
The HCF Grant is a cost-sharing program which supports organizations delivering integrated programs and projects to prevent chronic diseases by addressing their many risk factors. HCF priorities include: healthy eating; physical activity; tobacco control; substance and alcohol misuse prevention; mental health promotion; and injury prevention. Projects funded by the HCF Grant Program must target at least two of these health promotion priorities.
HCF guidelines, application forms and a list of all projects funded to date are available at www.ontario.ca/healthycommunities.
