November Updates, News, and Resources |

Greetings!
We don't have any trainings planned for this month, but you can save the date for our December training, Coffee Chat: Conversations with Coalitions coming up on December 14th. It's going to be a thoughtful and informal discussion about the challenges and successes of the past year and a half; we hope you can make it!
And, in case you missed it, check out our latest blog post on the parallels between transphobia and coulrophobia (fear of clowns). Happy reading!
That's all for now!

SPOTLIGHT GRANT OPPORTUNITY |

The Bureau of Community Health and Prevention in the Massachusetts Department of Public Health is issuing an RFR (Request for Response) for the Mass in Motion Municipal Wellness & Leadership Initiative. The RFR was posted on September 13 and applications are due Monday December 13, 2021. Please find the RFR here.
Mass in Motion is re-procuring grantees to implement municipal and regional practices to address root causes that impact opportunities for active living and access to healthy and affordable food. Funded grantees will support Mass in Motion goals of 1.) increasing and aligning local spending to improve conditions and address Social Determinants of Health; 2.) sustaining the day-to-day practices of municipal governments, organizations, and collaborative partners to address structural and systemic racism and other root cause barriers to good health; and 3.) ensuring everyone has access to healthy foods, opportunities for safe, physical activity, and the things that keep us healthy.
The RFR is open to those who may apply for funding as a single municipality or neighborhood or a collaborative/regional partnership. Potential applicants should review the RFR for further eligibility criteria. Mass in Motion anticipates awarding approximately 6-12 contracts ranging from $80,000-$160,000.00 each annually and that there will be programs funded across the Commonwealth. The start date for grantees is anticipated to be July 1, 2022. There are two Bidder’s Conference sessions scheduled for September 22, 2021 (2:00 PM) and October 5, 2021 (10:30 AM), links in RFR.
