The partners chosen through the program receive funds for up to two years. The purpose of the money is to support implementation and evaluation strategies identified in local Community Health Needs Assessment plans, support sustainable interventions that will have an impact on the selected priority and enhance the capacity and effectiveness of multi-sector collaborations.
The Wisconsin Partnership Program was established to boost collaboration among public health departments, nonprofit organizations, hospitals, clinics, healthcare systems, schools, businesses and government leaders on local health priorities.
Since the program’s inception in 2004, the Wisconsin Partnership Program has awarded more than 400 research, education and community grants totaling more than $180 million.
