The Superior Health Foundation is accepting Pilot Project (formerly mini-grants) grant applications to help provide funding for small, innovative health-centered projects within the Upper Peninsula.

Students, neighborhood groups, local clubs, non-profits, and anyone within the Upper Peninsula who wishes to improve the quality of life in their community are encouraged to apply. Students will need an adult sponsor.

Grants should be used for charitable health-centered purposes and be consistent with SHF’s mission, which is “to assist with unmet healthcare needs, with health education, and with programs and research on preventing illness and promoting health.”

Other factors which may be taken into consideration include: if project is health-centered; if project is new and creative; if project has visible and lasting benefits for the region; the number of citizens benefited by the project; and the amount of support the project has from other businesses, groups or individuals.

Applications may be submitted at any time.
