Mini-Grants

What is the Mini-Grants program?
Mini-Grants are made available annually to member organizations of ATSPA for the purpose of trauma prevention educational projects.  The mini-grant program was designed to encourage member hospitals to promote trauma prevention activities within their own communities. 

 What types of projects are funded?

Areas to be considered include, but are not limited to, the following: bicycle safety, impaired driving, home safety, elderly trauma, pedestrian safety, child safety, farm safety, anti-violence prevention, and initiatives surrounding "Second Trauma." 

How can I get involved in the Mini-Grant program?

To receive a mini-grant from ATSPA you must first be a member organization. All mini-grant proposals are reviewed by the ATSPA grant review committee for compliance with grant requirements, feasibility of project, cost-effectiveness, the involvement of other organizations and anticipated project results.  Proposals must comply with all federal and state regulations of current funding grants received by the ATSPA.

How much funding can I get for my project?

The maximum grant is based on availability of funds within the project year, and only one grant is awarded to any organization within any particular calendar year.  Suggested awards do not exceed $1,500.00 each.  This varies from year to year.

What is my obligation upon receiving a grant?

Following the completion of the project period, each grant recipient is required to submit a report of their program.  If the project included pamphlets or other publications, copies should be submitted with the final report.
