One of the strategic results of the ADAMH 2003 Strategic Business Plan addresses the need to supplement its tax-supported budget from private funding sources. In response to that goal, ADAMH developed a grant seeking program to provide enhanced revenues to fund strategic priorities and innovations to care for consumers so that they can experience recovery from mental illness and addictions.
This quarterly newsletter is intended to keep you current on the grant seeking activities at the ADAMH Board, share future opportunities for partnering, and help you in your own efforts to seek grant funding for your organizations. The newsletter is sent to all provider Executive Directors and grants managers. Please contact Elaine Newman at enewman@adamh.co.franklin.oh.us
or 222-3726 to make additions to the distribution list.
