Grants Available Through Cities for Workforce Health Wellness Program

Jul 14, 2020
Sponsored by the League Partner Program, Kaiser Permanente, Keenan, and the HEAL Cities Campaign, the Cities For Workforce Health (CFWH) program is designed to help cities engage their employees in a culture of health and productivity at the workplace. Cities can apply for a 2021 Cities for Workforce Health (CFWH) consulting grant to help improve the health and safety for their employees.
 
Grant Selection Criteria

A grant review committee will review and evaluate applicants and select five cities to receive grants based on the following criteria:
  • Demonstration that a basic wellness program infrastructure is currently in place (e.g. leadership team or steering committee has been formed; wellness champions have been identified; and/or a survey or assessment of health needs/risks has been conducted);
  • Readiness to initiate or further develop a worksite wellness program;
  • Commitment to building the program’s infrastructure and capacity; and
  • Need for professional consultation to assist with program development efforts. 
In addition, the review committee aims to balance the selection of awardees based on geographic location (Northern, Central, and Southern California) and size of employee population.
