FCRA PROJECT
FCRA PROJECT: RMHC GLOBAL GRANT PROGRAM
DEADLINE: 25TH AUGUST 2014
RMHC not only
tries to directly improve the health and well being of children through our
programs, but we also work with other non-profit organizations around the world
that are making an immediate, positive impact on children. Grants to these
organizations extend the reach of RMHC and quickly move donation dollars to
communities around the world with the most need.
The RMHC Global Grant program focuses on sustainable,
replicable projects that are national or global in scope. Projects must include
a train-the-trainer component in their pursuit of addressing the most pressing
issues relating to children’s healthcare. RMHC takes a holistic,
family-centered approach to bridging access to care and is interested in
partnering with organizations that have a similar philosophy.
Projects that are considering
funding must meet these requirements:
Organizations must be stable, efficient U.S based
organizations.
o Organizations can operate internationally or
domestically though.
Organizations must have proven
outcomes and strong partnerships with key stakeholders.
We will only consider
organizations whose project methodology involves a comprehensive, ethnographic
approach to their research, program development, program implementation, and
evaluation.
We seek to partner with
organizations that take an innovative approach to addressing the health needs
of the population.
Organizations must have a process in place for
tracking success. We evaluate organizations based on their execution of past or
current projects by the following outcomes:
o Program Performance
o Community Outreach
o Financial Sustainability
o Management Effectiveness
RMHC will consider pilot
projects provided that the organization operating them has demonstrated success
in these outcome areas.
Organizations must meet the RMHC grant-giving
guidelines. i.e.
o Organization cannot advocate
for or against or otherwise provide direct or indirect support for or against
any political campaign, individual politician, pro-life, pro-choice positions,
or any other organization which takes a controversial stand on social issues.
o Organization cannot address or
support issues through adversarial and confrontational tactics.
o Organization cannot aim to
promote a particular faith, creed or religious programs.
o Organization cannot
discriminate with respect to membership and/or the provision of services or use
of facilities.
o Organization cannot be under
investigation, or reported to be under investigation, by any state, federal or
foreign governmental authority.
o Requested funding cannot cover
fundraising or capital investment costs.
o If an academic institution, the institution must be
accredited.
Ultimately,
RMHC would like to do the most good, for the greatest number of children. We
are looking to partner with organizations and projects that will have an
extensive impact on children, effectively extending our reach in communities
around the world.
