Interested in applying for an MSNHA grant?
First, review the Grant, Partnership, and Sponsorship Guidelines to ensure your project fits with the types of work we fund. Then use the Grant Application link to submit your application. Many of the resources on this page will be helpful as you navigate the process. The Grants and Partnership Match Guide especially will help ensure you are documenting your work properly — which means a smoother & quicker path for your project. Here you’ll also find blank timesheet forms, in-kind documentation forms, and the link to the Grants and Partnerships Final Report form.
If you are an MSNHA partner, please familiarize yourself with the match guide and use the blank timesheets, in-kind form, and the final report form available on this page, as well.
