Community Solutions for Healthy Child Development Grants

kidsThe Community Solutions for Healthy Child Development Grant program is funded by an appropriation from the Minnesota State Legislature. A new request for proposals (RFP) for the next grant cycle was released on Jan. 3, 2024: Community Solutions for Healthy Child Development Request for Proposals 2023. 

The purposes of the community solutions grant program are to:

  • Improve child development outcomes related to the well-being of children of color and American Indian children from prenatal to grade three and their families. This includes, but is not limited to, the goals outlined by the Minnesota Department of Human Services’ early childhood systems reform effort: early learning; health and well-being; economic security; and safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments.
  • Reduce racial disparities in children’s health and development from prenatal to grade three.
  • Promote racial and geographic equity.

The community solutions grant program works to advance these purposes by funding community-based solutions for challenges that are identified by affected communities. 

A community solutions advisory council advises MDH on the development of the community solutions RFP, the selection of grantees, and the management of the grant program.
