What are the amounts of the SPF SIG grants?
All Grantees are eligible to apply for start-up grants of up to $68,000 for needs assessment, capacity building and planning (SPF steps 1-3). Once their plan has been approved by the Department of Health (VDH) they will be eligible to apply for up to $120,000 to implement their plan. It is expected that different communities will take different amounts of time to move into the implementation phase. All grantees will be expected to support a share of statewide training, evaluation and media expenses. Funds to support these activities have been built into the award amounts.
