3. Background • The Community Partnership Fund (CPF) is a competitive grant program for non-profits. • Total FY 2019 budget is $1 million. • CPF priority areas: community health, domestic violence, youth violence, financial security and literacy. • Each priority area is allotted $200,000 and administered by the appropriate Metro Department.

4. Overview • The Metro Public Health Department (MPHD) seeks grant applications that align with the community’s priority health needs as defined in the Healthy Nashville Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). CHIP Priorities • Proposal must address: • One or more of the CHIP priority area goals, • Advance health equity, and • Incorporate a Policy, Systems or Environmental (PSE) change strategy

5. CHIP Priority Goals • Maximize the Built and Natural Environment Goals: • Increase active transportation, i.e., walking or biking options and utilization. • Improve and protect the quality of air, land and water • Support Mental and Emotional Health Goals: • Provide individuals and families with the support necessary to maintain positive mental well-being • Promote positive parenting & violence free homes

6. Advance Health Equity Proposals should describe how the project incorporates equity in practices and processes and the social determinants of health. Definitions: • The societal and systematic understanding and appreciation of differences among individuals and populations; where everyone is valued and has the opportunity to achieve optimal health and well-being (2015 Health Equity Recommendations Report). • Both the absence of systemic obstacles and the creation of opportunities for all to be healthy. (MPHD)

7. Advance Health Equity • Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) • The conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, and play, affect a wide range of health risks and outcomes. • Addressing SDOH removes barriers and create opportunities to advance health equity for all.

8. Policy, System and Environmental (PSE) Strategies • Approaches that seek to go beyond programming and into the systems that create the structures in which we work, live and play.

9. Event/Program vs. PSE Change

10. Policy Change • Creating or changing a written statement of an organizational position, decision, or course of action. Made in public, non-profit, and business sectors. • Can be at various levels – organizational, professional, government • Examples: workplace rules, agreements, decisions, agreed upon ways of doing business, standards

11. Systems Change • Systems change focuses on changing infrastructure within a setting or organization that institutes processes or procedures at the system level. • Unwritten, ongoing, organizational decisions or changes that result in new activities reaching large proportions of people. Can alter how the organization conducts business. • Examples: Procedures between or within organizations such as personnel, resource allocation, programs, processes. Can occur in settings such as schools, parks, worksites or healthcare.

12. Environmental Change • Environmental change is change made to the physical environment. Physical, social, and economic factors influence people’s practices and behaviors. • Not necessary to pass a policy Examples: • Physical - Structural changes or programs or service; • Social - A positive change in attitudes or behavior about policies that promote health or an increase in supportive attitudes regarding a health practice; • Economic - Presence of financial disincentives or incentives to encourage a desired behavior

13. Additional Project Priorities • Cross-sector collaboration • Sustainability • Culturally Competent

14. Eligibility Requirements • 501(c)(3) designation of exemption from federal taxation from the Internal Revenue Service; or incorporation as a non-profit with registration identification number or proof of such exemption as allowed. • At least one (1) year in existence • Must provide a copy of an audit conducted by a certified public accountant for latest complete fiscal year and be in compliance with contract requirements of grant awards from Metro in any previous years. This requirement may be waived for non-profits with annual budgets of less than $50,000 and requests for grants of less than $5,000, per Ordinance No. BL2013-578.

15. Eligibility Requirements • Non-profits applying for Direct Appropriations are ineligible to submit applications for CPF.

16. Funding Levels • Non-profits may apply for up to $50,000 for a Community Health grant AND Non-profits may apply for a grant from the other Metro Departments: Dept. of Family Safety for domestic violence, Juvenile Court for youth violence, Library for literacy grants and Social Services for financial security. • In the event that an insufficient number of competitive proposals are received to exhaust the $200,000 budget for Community Health, then the evaluation committee has discretion to award more than $50,000 per non-profit. • Similarly, the evaluation committee can partially fund proposals. In both scenarios, the coordinating Metro department will work with non-profits to revise the proposed scope of work accordingly.

17. Funding Levels • Capacity Building Grants (up to $25,000 each) • Assessment and Planning grants Projects that require data gathering and/or data analysis to inform and/or advance project planning for implementation.

These projects are intended to build program/project specific capacity as well as facilitate communication/information sharing within the project network.
