(Yumans' Obesity Undermines Their Health)
The YOUTH Initiative of the Foundation of Yuma Regional Medical Center provides a $100,000 annual fund to support local non-profit organizations that pursue goals to reduce obesity in a defined Yuma-area population. Basic guidelines include:
- No award will exceed $10,000.
- All awards are for one fiscal year (October 1 through September 30)
- Though funding of all programs and projects and their amounts are limited to one year, each is always competitively renewable.
- Preference will be given to projects/programs directed at youth, but will consider any that seriously demonstrate the high likelihood of inducing long-term healthy lifestyle changes.
