The Alliance for Health Equity Distributes $2,500 Grants to 30 Nonprofits
COVID-19 has placed a significant strain on our mental health and well-being.
Nonprofits, in particular, are suffering from staff shortages, Zoom fatigue, lack of volunteers, and increased demand for their services. There’s also the worry about contracting the virus, as well as the stress of an economic downturn and inequitable access to healthcare.
The needs of the community were met by The Alliance for Health Equity’s nonprofit partners.
As a result, The Alliance for Health Equity distributed a $2,500 grant to 30 partners as a token of appreciation for all that they do for the community. The $2,500 has no restrictions, as long as it is used for each organization’s staff to take care of its emotional well-being. The grant recipients are:

As you know, we have continued to serve and have not closed our doors!”
The Alliance for Health Equity values its partnerships and cares about the people who work tirelessly in helping it carry out its mission: to advance a more equitable, resilient, and healthy community.
