OBJECTIVES:
Each year, the sponsor's Community Health Leadership Program (CHLP)
honors ten outstanding individuals who overcome daunting odds to
expand access to health care and social services to underserved and
isolated populations in communities across the United States.
ELIGIBILITY
Community-based health providers and advocates in mid-career who
have created or significantly improved health programs in local
communities where health care needs have been ignored and unmet, are
eligible to be nominated. The sponsor defines mid-career as not less
than five and not more than a total of fifteen years in the field of
community based health. Nominees must be a United States citizen or
permanent resident of the fifty United States, District of Columbia or
Puerto Rico. They must be currently working in their own local
community (not on a national or international level) in affiliation
with a nonprofit or government agency, on a three-quarter to full-time
basis.
The sponsor welcomes nominations from consumers, community leaders,
health professionals, government officials and others who have been
personally inspired by people providing essential community health
services. Nominations from development and public relations
departments or professional grant writers cannot be accepted.
FUNDING
The award is given to ten individuals once a year. The award is
$120,000. $105,000 is for the support of the awardee's program and
$15,000 is a personal stipend. The award money can be used flexibly
to sustain and/or strengthen the recipient's community health efforts
as long as it is permissible under the 501(c)(3) tax code. The
awardee may choose to support ongoing initiatives or a new program
that is an outgrowth of their current work. Recipients are strongly
encouraged to consider using the award to leverage other resources.
