Is the Delta Health Alliance a granting agency?
The Delta Health Alliance (DHA) is not a granting agency. We are an association of over a dozen different community-based non-profit agencies, universities, workforce development groups and professional associations, united through our mutual interest in developing sustainable programs that meet critical needs in our region. The majority of our programs are funded through the mechanism of Cooperative Agreements, meaning that the DHA is an active participant in every project we support. The DHA works with our partners to 1) identify the most critical needs of our communities, 2) write proposals and identify funding opportunities, 3) work together to implement those initiatives, then 4) evaluate the results. If a project’s results are positive and sustainable, we will endeavor to help develop business plans to sustain those efforts and even replicate them into other communities with similar needs.
