To achieve the goal of better health for all Arkansans, the Blue & You Foundation seeks to harness the power of partnership. By strategically focusing its grant funding on community-based solutions, the Foundation hopes to nurture community health leadership, foster collaboration and innovation, and leverage financial, human, and community resources to produce a measurable, positive impact.
The Blue & You Foundation's Mini-Grants Program offers $1,000 – $2,000 grants specifically designed to support food pantries, health initiatives in public schools, colleges, and universities, and emergency response equipment such as AEDs, Narcan, stop the bleed kits, and child passenger safety. The program encourages applications from food pantries for direct support, from educational institutions for health-related initiatives that benefit students, and for essential emergency response equipment to enhance community safety. Each applicant is restricted to applying for one category of these targeted needs, aiming to create a healthier environment for all Arkansans through focused, practical aid in critical areas.
