Arizona Health Grants

The Thiru Family Trust Momentum Maker Grant Program, supported by the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Foundation for Community & Health Advancement, aims to foster social connection and community to protect mental health in Arizona. This initiative directly aligns with the foundation's mission to inspire new paths to mental health and well-being. By focusing on destigmatizing loneliness and overcoming social isolation, the program addresses critical aspects of mental health that can significantly impact individuals and communities across the state. The primary target beneficiaries of this grant are Arizona-based non-profit organizations and academic institutions. The impact goals are centered on creating and supporting projects that reduce social isolation and promote a sense of belonging, thereby improving the mental well-being of Arizona residents. The grant seeks to inspire new approaches and solutions to these pervasive issues within the state. For 2024, the program's explicit priority and focus is on destigmatizing loneliness and overcoming social isolation. This targeted approach ensures that funding is directed towards initiatives that directly address these specific challenges, which are recognized as significant contributors to mental health issues. The grant seeks to fund projects that offer innovative and effective strategies to build stronger social connections within communities. Expected outcomes include the development and implementation of projects that demonstrably increase social connection and reduce feelings of loneliness among participants. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, the focus on "destigmatizing loneliness and overcoming social isolation" implies a need for programs that can track participation, engagement, and self-reported improvements in social connectedness and mental well-being. The funding of $75,000 to support a single project suggests a desire for impactful, well-defined initiatives with clear objectives. The foundation's strategic priorities, as evidenced by this grant program, clearly center on public health and community well-being, specifically in the realm of mental health. Their theory of change appears to be rooted in the idea that by fostering social connection and addressing isolation, mental health outcomes can be significantly improved. By providing grants to eligible organizations, the foundation empowers local efforts to create meaningful change at the community level.
