New
Mini-Grant Program:
In addition to its regular grants program outlined on this site, the Blue & You Foundation offers a new, simpler application for $1,000 mini-grants to support health improvement projects in Arkansas. (See "Grants Eligibility Criteria" below.) Applications for mini-grants will be accepted in the months of February, April and June, with 25 mini-grants allotted for each of the three months. You may receive only one mini-grant in a 12-month period, and any organization that has received a mini-grant or regular grant from the Blue & You Foundation in the last three years is not eligible to apply for a mini-grant. You will be notified of mini-grant awards within approximately 30 days of your application. Your application will remain eligible for all three of the grant selection months (February, April and June), so there is no need to re-submit your application. If you receive a $1,000 mini-grant, you will be asked to submit a one-page report of your program results within six months. Go to online mini-grant application.
