Grants of up to $90,000 to USA nonprofit organizations to improve public health and sanitation conditions in eligible regions. The purpose of the program is to raise awareness of poor sanitation conditions and improve those conditions. Eligible projects must take place in priority geographic areas facing water, sanitation, and hygiene problems.
The CDC Foundation believes that community-based organizations (CBOs) are essential partners in the public health system and integral to ensuring meaningful impact on health outcomes. CBOs are a trusted resource within communities to improve economic, social, physical, and emotional wellbeing. CBOs, especially those led by people from racial and ethnicity minority groups with lived experience and an understanding of the communities in which they work, are vital to building local capacity, fostering collaboration, and creating feelings of ownership. Supporting these organizations also contributes to the development of local leaders and leaders of racial and ethnic minority groups who are better positioned to navigate through complex decision-making affecting their communities.
The CDC Foundation seeks to support CBO efforts to improve WASH conditions and/or awareness of poor WASH conditions in their respective communities.
