Greeting Honorable Clergy Members!

North Carolina has been selected as a pilot site for a $650 Million Healthy Community block grant. This grant is designed to work with community and grass roots organization in order to address the social factors that impact poor health outcomes (housing, nutrition and lack of healthy food choices, domestic violence, etc.) A group of medical providers of color across the state is seeking to connect with NC churches and select grassroots human service organizations to establish a viable network to funnel these funds, resources, and programs directly to the most fragile individuals and communities in NC in order to positively impact health outcomes.  

We would like to reach the pastoral leadership across the state to begin to develop plans to mobilize and secure this grant. We anticipate the official proposal request to be released in March or April 2019 and want to be prepared with partnership networks already in place. We would love to meet with you and start this process. Please give us some options for your availability.

Genesis Project will be meeting with all interested organizations:

Thursday, February 21, 2019 at 10:00am and 6:00pm
Saturday, February 23, 2019 at 9:00am and 4:00pm

If you are interested Please call and let Genesis Project know what time you are available to meet on this very important project.

Many Blessings and we are so excited in the possibilities!
