Wright County Health & Human Services is stepping up its efforts to facilitate the community's recovery in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic by seeking innovative project proposals starting Monday, April 29. The Wright County HHS announced they are ready to roll out up to $30,000 in awards for the most promising initiatives aimed at bolstering public health and welfare.

Local organizations and entities have until Friday, May 31 to pitch their plans, with a virtual briefing set for May 17 to provide detailed information about the application process and funding criteria, this timeline leaves applicants with a month to solidify their strategies, discuss collaborative opportunities, and draft proposals that could shape the future of the county’s health services.

For those interested in grabbing a slice of the funding pie, Wright County HHS has made it clear that their prime target is backing projects with sustainable impacts, prioritizing long-term benefits over short-lived solutions. The department's website is the go-to source for proposal guidelines, submission details, and registration for the upcoming virtual info session.

With the aim of clawing back the ground lost to the pandemic, the county’s initiative underscores a commitment to not only mend but also strengthen the community fabric, a task that necessitates innovative thinking and collective efforts; as the May 17th webinar approaches, prospective applicants are urged to clinch this opportunity to bring about meaningful change.
