Seeds of Grace

Free Medical Clinic for the Uninsured Allegan County

Innovative ideas for improving health care delivery are often born in community service organizations. However, because these organizations are usually lean both in staff and resources, many valuable ideas never become reality. To implement their ideas, nonprofit organizations may need to develop proposals for funding that require specialized assistance beyond their financial reach.

The Proposal Development Award is designed to help community nonprofit organizations develop high-quality, effective proposals that will result in the provision of innovative services to improve the health of the community.
