Online Preregistration: June 2, 2003 (register on http://www.lifp.org/) Application Deadline: July 15, 2003

Summary: The Local Initiative Funding Partners (LIFP) program, a partnership between the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (http://www.rwjf.org/) and local grantmakers, supports innovative, community-based projects designed to improve health and healthcare for underserved and at-risk populations. Through the program, local grantmakers such as community foundations, family foundations, and corporate grantmakers are invited to propose a partnership to be co-funded by RWJF. Grants may be made to community nonprofit organizations or institutions. Projects funded through the program must be nominated by a local funder.

Funding: The program will provide grants of $100,000 to $500,000 per project-funds that must be matched by local grant-makers. The total amount will be paid out over a three- to four-year period. In 2004, up to $8 million will be awarded through the program.

Eligibility: Applicants may be either public entities or nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and not classified as a private foundation under Section 509(a). Local grantmakers supplying matching funds during the grant period may include corporate or private foundations, local charitable organizations, religious groups, special fund-raising entities or individual benefactors.

Additional Information: For more information on the program, eligibility requirements, and the application process, see the RWJF Web site. RFP Link: rwjf.org/applying/cfpDetail.jsp?cfpCode=LFP&type=open
