Evaluation of the Georgia Childhood Asthma Management Program
Proposal Deadline: March 24, 2009 (Closed)
Healthcare Georgia Foundation is requesting proposals to design and implement a comprehensive evaluation of the Georgia Childhood Asthma Management Program. This is a multi-year statewide program designed to improve the delivery of comprehensive and integrated health services for Georgia’s children and adolescents living with asthma. It is expected that the grantee will manage the cross-site evaluation, assist grantees in evaluating their site-specific programs and provide evaluation and support to grantees throughout the grant period. The organization selected through the Evaluation Request for Proposals (RFP) will receive a one-year planning grant not to exceed $100,000 to design the overall evaluation plan. A continuation grant will be provided after the first year of the grant award to implement the evaluation plan.
During the planning grant, the Evaluation grantee will be expected to: 1) conduct 1-2 site visits to approximately 4-6 funded grantees in order to develop the evaluation methodology and 2) develop the overall evaluation methodology plan that incorporates both site-specific and cross-site evaluations for the Georgia Childhood Asthma Management Program that is consistent with the goals and objectives of the program. The proposal deadline is March 24, 2009.

Eligible Applicants
Healthcare Georgia Foundation accepts proposals from organizations located in Georgia for projects that directly benefit Georgia residents. National organizations may apply; however, the proposal must address services being provided in Georgia and the availability of Georgia-based staff, and meet the following eligibility requirements for this RFP.
- Under most circumstances, the applicant organization must be tax exempt under section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code and defined as “not a private foundation” under Section 509(a). For this RFP, the Foundation will also entertain proposals from organizations that are not a 501(c)(3).
- The Foundation will accept proposals from schools, universities, and government agencies.
- Organizations that are not a 501(c) (3) entity can apply through a tax-exempt organization acting as fiscal sponsor.
- The Foundation does not generally make grants for activities that exclusively benefit the members of sectarian or religious organizations.
- If your organization is not a 501(c)(3) entity and plans to use a fiscal sponsor, that sponsor must send a cover letter with the proposal indicating it has approved this project for funding. Pre-approval of the fiscal sponsor is necessary for the Foundation to proceed with the funding request. If the organization has no separate legal existence and is a direct project of the entity holding the 501(c)(3), this should be stated in your proposal.
