Implementation Phase: Take action toward Health Equity!
Overview
Coalitions funded in the Implementation phase of Prosperemos Juntos | Thriving Together will receive continued support through convenings, coaching, peer learning, funding and focused capacity-building. Coalitions will be able to self-identify the support they need. Support will be for the purpose of advancing each coalition’s health equity strategy.
In the Implementation application, you will be asked to develop a budget. In developing your application and budget, coalitions should plan for a 3-year timeframe. We encourage coalitions to propose a 3-year budget between $450,000 and $1,050,000 (annually $150,000 to $350,000), although we will also consider higher or lower proposals.
We recognize all coalitions are different and are at varying levels of readiness. As we review applications, we will evaluate each coalition’s application on a case by case basis as they align with the following criteria: coalition strength and diversity, shared power to persons with current and recent lived experience*, transformational processes, health equity strategy, and governance and finances. Click here to see the complete rubric.
We encourage every coalition to develop responses to the application prompts collaboratively and work on them in a separate document, then identify someone to transfer responses into the Google form below after the coalition agrees on the final responses.
Should you have any questions about the application or the process, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team at thrivingcommunities@mhm.org.
* A Person with Lived Experience (PLE) is someone with current or recent (within the last 5 years) lived experience of the coalition’s focus, as indicated by the aim statement of the coalition’s driver diagram. For example, if a coalition is focused on decreasing food insecurity by 5% over the next 3 years, then a PLE would be someone who has experienced food insecurity within the last 5 years.
