Inova Health System announced on Monday that it will be contributing $1 million in grant funding to nonprofits in Alexandria and throughout Northern Virginia.
Nonprofits can now apply for grants through Inova’s 2022 Health Equity Grant program, which focuses on local nonprofits that aim to improve equity. According to Inova, this is the largest amount of funding provided through the program. In 2021, Inova provided $240,000 to 14 Northern Virginia nonprofits, including The Campagna Center, according to a news release.
“With the healthcare inequities experienced by many in our community exacerbated by the global pandemic, Inova nearly quadrupled its grant funds to $1 million and refocused the program to specifically address health equity locally,” according to the release.
Nonprofits interested in the program can apply online. Applications are due by April 6.
