Deadline: 6 January 2017
The Healthcare Georgia Foundation is currently seeking applications for its EmpowerHealth Program that fits within the priority area of Strengthening and Sustaining Health Nonprofit Organizations, Programs, and Workforce in Georgia.

- Enhance health nonprofit organizational capacity to deliver effective services and programs;
- Strengthen and sustain high-impact health programs, services, and supports; and
- Build/strengthen Georgia’s health professions workforce capacity.
