Government is taking applications for community-based organizations to hold and promote events during Well-Being Week 2024. Scheduled for September 22-28, Well-Being Week is focused on creating awareness of the social determinants of health and how they contribute to an individual’s health and well-being. Grants of up to $1,000 per organization are available. To qualify, groups must be a community organization and an event must meet the description and align with the objectives of Well-Being Week.
