“These grantees are deeply rooted in their communities, and we are honored to support their crucial policy work that will have impact and benefit that will far outlast this pandemic,” said Lori Fresina, vice president and executive director of Voices for Healthy Kids at the American Heart Association. “Organizations like these are vital for improving health in their communities and we encourage others to similarly support their efforts.”
Out of 200 applications, requesting a total of more than $10 million, 22 were selected across 19 states, Puerto Rico and the Lummi Nation, based in Washington state.
