AAPCA1 Microgrants Description
AAP California Chapter 1 (AAPCA1) is excited to offer its members the opportunity to apply for a chapter microgrant. The Care & Connect Microgrant Project, offers microgrants valued at up to $2,000 (no amount is too small) which can be utilized in one of two impactful ways:
- Child Health Care: The first option supports innovative community-based child health initiatives. These projects should focus on providing access to services that lead to optimal child health and well-being, building strong community partnerships, and have measurable outcomes. This is a unique opportunity to implement creative solutions that address health disparities and enhance the lives of children in underserved communities.
- Member Connect: The second option for microgrant use is to host member gatherings and meetings within your local area. Whether it's organizing a coffee networking event, hosting a coffee meet-up, or creating other networking and meeting opportunities, these gatherings aim to strengthen the connections among pediatricians and pediatric residents. Such events foster collaboration, share best practices, and build a supportive professional community and increase member engagement.
Along with the grant, you will have the full support of our AAPCA1 staff to carry out your grant goals. We encourage all members to take advantage of this chance to either drive community health improvements or enhance pediatric connections!
