California Breathing launched its new asthma education resource, BREATHE for LIFE, specifically tailored for African American communities. In California, African Americans have 2-3 times higher rates of hospitalizations and visits to the emergency department due to asthma than other racial/ethnic groups. In response to these disparities, California Breathing, in partnership with Promotions West, began researching how asthma should be addressed in California’s African American communities.

SPIG provides more funding and a longer funding cycle than the former mini-grant program. These grants are directly related to specific goals and objectives in the Strategic Plan for Asthma in California 2008-2012. The 2010-2012 grantees are focused on Goal 4B (Indoor Environments: Childcare Settings) or Goal 5 (Outdoor Environments).
