The Kansas Health Foundation established three public health field of interest funds to support the health and well-being of individuals and communities in Republic County, Kansas. These funds were created in response to the second chapter of the Kansas Health Foundation's Giving Resources to Our World (GROW II) match grant challenge. The funds include the Kansas Health Foundation Fund for Republic County, the North Central Kansas Health Care Foundation Fund, and the Republic County Health Fund.
Grants from these funds are dedicated to protecting and promoting public health through the encouragement of healthy lifestyles, behaviors, and environments. Public health is broadly defined to include any activity that improves individual and community health outcomes.
Major financial contributions to these funds were provided by the North Central Kansas Health Care Foundation and the Salina Regional Health Foundation. Their support enabled the initiative to secure a 50% matching grant from the Kansas Health Foundation through GROW II, expanding the total resources available for public health initiatives in Republic County.
Applicants must complete and submit a grant application through the Foundation’s online grant system. Specific eligibility, funding cycles, award amounts, and deadlines are not detailed in the initial information provided and would need to be verified through the online system or direct inquiry.
