How is CCHE defining “a successful track record of at least two years in community organizing and policy advocacy”?
Applicants should be able to describe community organizing efforts that have engaged local residents to make changes to local, regional and/or state policies that have helped address health-related problems in communities of color. Health-related problems are broadly defined to include efforts to decrease exposure to environmental threats, address overconcentration of alcohol outlets or exposure to targeted marketing of unhealthy products, etc. Funds provided through the CCHE program are not designed to support start-up organizations or collaborations put together for the sole purpose of applying for funding.
