Strategic Plan Implementation Grants
In 2008, California Breathing launched the "Strategic Plan Implementation Grants Program" (SPIG). So far we have funded 11 outstanding projects that improve the lives of people with asthma at the local level. 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).
The 2010-2012 SPIG program funds four community based organizations at $40,000 for two years. The grantees are implementing asthma interventions in Head Start classrooms, and policy work to improve air quality in outdoor environments. Learn more about current projects here.
