Building a Culture of Health with Mini Grants

Apr 29, 2021

Palm Health Foundation’s Healthier Together communities and BeWellPBC support mini grant programs that are making huge impact throughout our community. Mini grants are just what they sound like – small amounts of funding that local organizations and individuals can apply to receive. The foundation has been amazed and inspired by the way that these grants have launched brand new programs and furthered the reach of local efforts to better resident health and wellbeing.

We’ve collected mini grant stories on our YouTube channel so you can see how truly impactful they are. Visit our channel to see:

“Healthier Neighbors Mini Grants” - Jeanette Marshall, project director of Healthier Neighbors, explains her community’s mini grant process and how the residents and organizations receiving the funding are advancing behavioral health for their neighbors in unexpected, innovative ways.

“I am Serenity” – A natural hair stylist starts a program out of her salon that educates local young ladies on caring for their natural hair. Participants also meet and learn how to journal their feelings and build confidence and self-esteem.

“Bridge to Infinity” – Douglas Lawson launches a youth entrepreneurial program focused on the working class. Participants learn skills in financial literacy, including investing, savings and credit.

“BarberShopTalks” – A local pastor launches a program that creates a safe space for men to come together and verbally process their thoughts and feelings, and seek counsel from other men in their community.

A PHF Scholar Dedicated to Supporting her Hispanic Community

18 Sep, 2024

Palm Health Foundation behavioral health scholarship recipient Beatriz Moreno remembers the first time she was made aware that she was a first-generation student. “I was applying to colleges in my junior year of high school with my high school counselor and I had to answer what level of education my parents had completed,” said the Argentine American scholar. “As I sat there, I realized that neither of my parents had completed a college degree in the United States. I was the eldest child to start that journey.” It was the beginning of her educational pursuit to combine her interest in behavioral health with her passion for helping people from Hispanic cultures. “Stigma surrounds mental health in the Hispanic community,” she said. “It prevents people from receiving the proper supports, especially when acculturating to a new way of life. And it affects their children.”
