BELLE GLADE — Healthier Glades, a Palm Health Foundation Healthier Together initiative, proudly marked six years of empowering the Glades community through its Mini Grant Program with the recent announcement of four grant awards to recipients in Belle Glade and Canal Point, Florida. Through the Mini Grant Program, Healthier Glades invests in promising programs to promote health, wellness, and youth engagement. The initiative has awarded over $140,000 in mini grants to 52 residents and organizations fostering lasting community impact since 2019.
The four innovative grants exemplify Healthier Glades’ ability to unlock community strengths by elevating and investing in the ideas that the community believes hold the most promise to change lives and the narrative around mental health.
“The programs highlight the creativity, passion, and dedication of Glades’ community members,” said Annie Ifill, Director, Healthier Glades.
Mini grant recipients began program implementation on January 1, 2025.
“As the mini grant projects begin, Healthier Glades continues to champion community empowerment and collaboration,” Ifill said. “Each initiative showcases the remarkable ways residents address challenges, build resilience, and create a healthier, stronger Glades community. Together, we are unlocking the strengths of our community, one grant at a time.”
