The AstraZeneca Young Health Global Grants Program, “Step Up”, funds non-profit and charitable organizations looking to innovate in relation to the health and wellbeing of young people.
They aim to:
- Have a positive impact on the young people involved in the programs that we support and the communities that they serve
- Learn about what really works in youth health promotion
- Increase a wider understanding of health and wellbeing initiatives for young people
And to generate:
- Case studies and other evidence of promising approaches
- Opportunities for future collaboration and investment
Astrazeneca StepUp Young Health Global Grants Program is seeking grant applications for projects which:
- Take place in under-resourced and marginalized communities
- Address the health needs of young people aged 10-30, and/or be youth-led
- Are focused on health promotion
- Show innovation in approach, settings, or implementation
- Can provide evidence at the conclusion of the project of what has been delivered, as well as outcomes and what has been learned
- Can be completed within 12 months of grant payment (ideally by March 2022).
They are acutely aware of the likely effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on organizations that they would like to support and the communities that they serve. They are particularly open to supporting non-profits that are finding new ways of working with this ‘new normal’ and to projects that link COVID-19 and the prevention of NCDs.
