The grants are pivotal in assisting community partners with implementing initiatives that significantly contribute to the 2023-2027 CHIP for Cobb and Douglas Counties. Your involvement is very important. Click here to view Cobb's CHIP and Douglas' CHIP in mySidewalk.

Developed with Cobb2020 and Live Healthy Douglas, the CHIP identifies two strategic issues: Access to Health Services and Basic Needs and Healthy Lifestyles for improving health in Cobb and Douglas Counties. The CHIP Partnership Grants offer up to $25,000 per agency through $1:$1 matching funds. Requests less than or equal to $5,000 do not require a match. This is an opportunity for us to collaborate on new or expanded efforts to address these issues, requiring partnerships with other organizations. They must include policy development activities, system-level improvements, OR built environmental changes that will support long-term and sustainable progress. The deadline to apply is May 23, 2024.
