What is a Seed Grant?
As PHA uses the term, a seed grant is a small amount of money provided in response to a written proposal. The idea is that the resulting projects will have value in getting something new and important started, not only for those who receive the funding, but also in seeding ideas for others.
What is the goal of the current PHA seed grant program?
This seed grant program is designed to help patients and supporters implement new ideas and activities to:
- Generate funds and awareness through special events
- Build visibility and understanding of PH in local communities
though media activities
What will the Seed Grants provide?
Ten seed-grants of up to $1,000 each are available to PHA members thanks to an unrestricted educational grant received from Gilead Pharmaceuticals. Gilead Pharmaceuticals made this award as part of their commitment to PH Awareness Month.
Who can apply?
Applications should come from PHA members.
How do we apply?
You should submit
- an application form with details of your event or activity,
- an itemized budget for how you expect to use the seed-grant
and
- a Plan of Action detailing tasks and necessary steps to take
for coordinating your special event, fundraiser or other activity.
Events should be planned to take place throughout 2007.
What if we are not selected for a grant?
Ten grants will be awarded in 2007. Even if your proposal is not selected, you will still benefit because all projects that receive grants will be expected to write up their experience. These will be compiled into a “Best Practices” booklet that will be distributed to all support groups and the larger PH community as you consider future activities. In addition, if your proposal is not selected, we will still support and work to put on the event or similar event—the work you did in the application process can help you in future event programming!

When and how are decisions made?
All applications will be considered on a rolling-basis. Proposals are collected by the Special Events Coordinator. They are then forwarded to the Grants Review Committee to ensure compliance with these guidelines and procedures. They are also ranked for:
- the likelihood of the event or activity, as presented, to
meet its awareness or fund raising goals
- the likelihood that other support groups may see this event
or activity as something doable or possible in their own communities
- for the originality of the event or activity.
Applicants will be notified of funding decisions on an on-going basis.
