Alzheimer’s awareness grant funding opportunity
By Jane Danner | January 17, 2025 | All members
The Minnesota Department of Health’s (MDH’s) Aging & Healthy Communities Unit is requesting proposals to partner with MDH to implement a public information campaign to provide awareness of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). We are seeking organization partners with experience in ADRD who can reach communities disproportionately impacted by underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. These communities include Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ+), American Indian, people living with disabilities, and communities in Greater Minnesota.
Project proposals will demonstrate how organizations can use implementation-ready strategies to disseminate messages that increase awareness of ADRD. This grant RFP is supported through a budgetary allocation to
Minn. Law 2023 c 70 art 4 s 1010, 2023 c 70 art 20 s 3. The grant end date is June 30, 2025.
Learn more about the grant, who should apply, download the application, and how to attend an
information session on January 13, 10 - 11 a.m., by exploring the “
Alzheimer’s Awareness Grant Funding” page on the MDH website.
The deadline for applications is February 5, 2025.
