Program Summary
The Foundation's areas of grantmaking interest emerged from a strategic
planning process that involved the gathering and analysis of data on children's
health; and the identification of community needs, assets, and resources.
Area 1: Prevent Child Abuse and Neglect (ages
0 to 5)
Note: Beginning in January 2008, the Foundation no longer will
fund in this area. More information
Area 2: Promote Emotional and Behavioral Health
in Preteens (ages 9 to 13)
The preteen years are a critical time for a child's healthy development.
The combination of new experiences and emerging personal behaviors can
influence lifelong health, as well as put current health at risk. Accordingly,
the Foundation's focus in this area is to build on assets, foster resiliency,
and promote the healthy development of this age group, thereby reducing
the likelihood of high-risk behaviors. More
