The Child Health Foundation calls for applications for their small grant program. The foundation will fund projects that work with infants in the first month of their life to improve their health. The maximum amount organizations can apply for is USD 5000 and the deadline for this opportunity is May 31st 2019.
The Child Health Foundation Small Grant Program is open for organizations that work in developing countries or in the USA. Organizations must be certified and registered and be able to produce the related papers of proof.
The Child Health Small Grant Program wants to fund projects that have an innovative approach towards the improvement of the health situation of babies in their first month. Projects should work with biomedical and social technologies. The project must be implemented within a year and have measurable results. In the past, the foundation has concentrated on the treatment of diarrhea. This year the focus of the grant program is on the babies first month.
Funds cannot be used for international travel, computers, secretarial support, or overhead cost.
To apply to the Child Health Foundation Small Grant Program, you have to send your application via email to the address given on the homepage of the foundation. The application should consist of a cover letter, a project narrative and a budget. The foundation has very specific guidelines for the word count, so make sure that you do adhere to them.
In the project narrative, organizations have to submit a problem statement, their specific aim, background, their innovative approach, their outreach strategy and a statement about a possible mentorship. References about the organization might be requested
Approaches that will be funded need to be innovative and specifically geared towards the babies first month of life. If you project has a broader approach, it does not make sense to apply.
Best of luck for your proposal.

Just a gentle reminder to send us the proposal for contribution on this as soon as possible.Without your contribution and leadership we won’t be able to develop and requesting to you we can end hunger in our time so that together ther we can stop poverty lets help together (Sanklapa)At Sanaklap we believe that no-one should have to live in poverty. We are dedicated to a society in which all people, irrespective of race, class or gender, enjoy the freedom to pursue their own sustainable development. We focus on increasing people’s incomes and employment opportunities in productive sectors like agriculture as well as on improving access to basic services such as health, irrigation, nutations, education, energy, water, sanitation and hygiene. Sankalpa supports people to access and develop the capabilities, services and opportunities needed to live a healthy, productive and fulfilling life, while sustainably using the natural resources they depend on. Unlike many other development actors, we do not offer funding, but specialize in supporting the resourcefulness of development actors. Sankalpa is a not-for-profit rural community development organisation that applies practical know-how to make a lasting difference in the lives of people living in poverty. We use our extensive and long-term in-Darchula District to apply and adapt our top-notch expertise in Health, Education, Women Empowering, agriculture, energy and WASH to local contexts. Sankalpa has over 41 staff in more than 5 Rural Municipality in Darchula. In its new Strategic Plan period (2017 – 2021), Sankalalpa will more explicitly aim for systems change during project preparation and implementation – by strengthening institutions and kick-starting markets that help many more to escape poverty beyond our projects. We will continue to position ourselves as a premium organisation and invest in making knowledge flow to and from the frontline.For more information on Sankalpa, visit our website: http://www.sankalpadarchula.org.np and http://www.sankalpa.org.np. in last time you areaccept our appeal.Narayan joshi has worked for the past twenty years with NGOs on the rural and remote grass roots level in Nepal in the field of child care, health support and women capacity development and promotion of sustainable health support practices.
