• American Heart Association's Empowering St. Louis Community Impact Grant Interest Form

  • Community leaders and community members are uniquely positioned to know the community needs and often have ideas and solutions to improve the health of their own community. The American Heart Association (AHA), in partnership with foundation and corporate partners, is funding community leaders through mini-grants to promote the mission of the AHA - to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives. Leaders are invited to share their ideas to support community change with funding needs to promote health, wellness, and creating environments for living longer, healthier lives in the greater St. Louis region.

    Community partners are eligible for mini-grants ranging from $1,000 - $30,000 to support lasting, sustainable community change. Community members, including individuals, faith-based organizations, senior centers, community health centers, housing authority, schools, community colleges, colleges/universities, city and county government, hospitals, employers, small businesses, and others are welcome to apply.

    Please allow 4-6 weeks for your request to be reviewed.

    For additional information and/or questions, please email Rachelle Bartnick, Sr. Director, Community Impact at Rachelle.Bartnick@heart.org.
