Grants Awarded to GLHA

Past Grants Awarded to the GLHA

In addition to distributing grant funds to frontline organizations, the Alliance was the recipient of three 2020 grants to address unmet healthcare needs in Greater  Lowell.

• Massachusetts COVID-19 Relief Fund. The Greater
  Lowell Community Foundation awarded this grant to the
  GLHA to purchase and distribute personal protection
  equipment (PPE) to more than thirty nonprofit
  organizations, schools, and municipalities to benefit
  under-served populations.
• Boston Medical Center’s HEALing Communities Study.
  The GLHA is serving as the fiscal agent for this multi-site
  implementation research study, which will test the impact
  of an integrated set of evidence-based practices
  across health care, behavioral health, justice, and other
  community-based settings. The goal of the study is to
  reduce opioid-related overdose deaths by 40 percent
  by December 2021.
• Age-Friendly Lowell. The Alliance will be working with
  several community partners that received this Tufts
  Health Plan Foundation Systems and Best Practices
  Grant, funding a project to build capacity to develop
  and implement an action and evaluation plan to promote
  health, independence, and quality of life among older
  Lowell residents.
