ArCOP members and GHC members had a lot of fun and a great turn out with 131 attendees and 37 Growing Healthy Communities throughout every region of our state. ArCOP appreciates the amazing work that you put into your communities that make a big impact on our state becoming a healthier place to live, work, worship and play. ArCOP is honored to recognize each of you as a Growing Healthy Community (GHC).
All GHC’s who attended the entire summit will be funded up to $1,000 for an activity or activities. For example, your community can choose Activity 1 ($200), Activity 3 ($400) and Activity 8 ($400) with a max of $1,000 per GHC or you can choose one activity totaling $1,000 per GHC. You set the budget based on the activities that you were trained on. Your community will be funded ONLY for the breakout session activities (listed below) that your community participated in. The project completion deadline is February 28, 2017.
NOTE: Once your GHC has completed the ArCOP HAA Summit Funding Form and sent it back to ArCOP, we will send you a check for 50% of the requested funds so that you can begin your project. When you have completed your project notify ArCOP and we will send you a brief summary report to complete requiring all receipts as proof of items purchased. Once we have received the form and receipts we will send the remaining funds to your community.
