AWARDED GRANTS

Americorps Victim Assistance Program: This is a one-year Bridge Grant to support ongoing operating expenses. Changes in funding formula, and loss of both in-kind space and no-cost health insurance for employees are among the factors precipitating funding.

CHANCES: This Discretionary Venture Grant will help, in combination with other grants, to expand geographic reach of this program, which offers court diversion and intervention services. Not receiving an anticipated grant (which would have resulted in returning other contingent grants) is one of the factors precipitating funding.

Child Health Services: This is a one-year Bridge Grant to assist in offsetting an operating deficit for FY2002. Child Health Services provides pediatric medical services for low income children in greater Manchester. Unexpected decrease in community financial support is one of the factors precipitating this discretionary grant.
