Proposal: Non-Profit Grants For Children

Improved Essays
Some potential funding sources that I would recommend is non-profit grants for education for kids who suffer from issues related to mental illness such as ADHA, Autism (ASD), or depression. This would be ideal to create resources that will help kids who might need additional attention or a different environment to help learn and engage better to help with being more successful in an educational setting (NIH n.d). The grant will also help lift some of the financial burden off parents by assisting them with household expenses such as utilities, child care expenses, or other expenses, but by a case by case basis (HRSA,2015). I would also look into teaming up with local business to offer employment to those individuals with mental health issues

Seven Hills Foundation has an organizational culture that appeals to many people.…

    According to Arroyo Fressco (AF) challenges identified by the performance FOCUS framework, it is obvious there is a need to implement and evaluate interventions that would improve AF’s operational efficiency. Financial Performance One of the key strategic challenges is to balance AF’s mission of serving all patients, regardless of their ability to pay or against tight fiscal environments at federal, state, and local levels. Although, AF receives federal section 330 grants from the Public Health Service of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, these funds have not kept pace with growing needs or economic changes within the health care industry. Thus, to remain financial viable in the future, it is recommended that AF focus on,…

    “A key in addressing primary prevention of mental health in [immigrant youth] is to shift the paradigm to focus on resiliency and on strength-based approaches rather than on risks and deficits” (Cohen, Chavez, & Chehimi, 2010, p. 389). This approach can actually work with any culture or ethnic background because when exploring the needs of the patient a full analysis of their background will take place. Culturally rich backgrounds do not just apply to immigrants or people of color; each individual’s upbringing may convey preferences based on their religion, spiritualty, personal values and cultural mores. According to Cohen, Chavez, and Chehimi (2010), focusing on preventative measures that encompass mental wellbeing needs to encompass an…
