Funding Help for Non-Profit Wellness
Programs Subject of New Special Report
MANASQUAN,
N.J., March 23, 2010 — Grant Funding for
Wellness and Health Promotion Programs has been published
by
the Wellness Management Information Center.
The special report was
developed in response to the need for more information on developing
sources of funds to support wellness programs. Funding is the special
fuel, the key ingredient in starting or expanding a wellness program,
Especially in these
difficult financial times, plans can be shelved because of budget
issues. Funding, wellness managers tell us, is something they struggle
with.
Wellness and health
promotion programs offered by hospitals, colleges and universities,
community-based initiatives and other non-profit organizations have an
option for securing the funds they need: grants and contracts from
charitable foundations, company-sponsored foundations and certain
government agencies.
That’s why Grant Funding for Wellness and
Health Promotion
Programs has been developed by the Wellness Management
Information Center editorial team.
