Organizations have until the end of the day Friday to apply for Michigan Health Endowment Fund grants.
The program was part of a deal from the reform of Michigan Blue Cross Blue Shield a few years ago.
A total of $8 million is available for community foundation application, according to Executive Director Paul Hillegonds.
Money has gone to support programs dealing with health exams for at-risk youth, fitness for children and seniors and fall risk reduction in older adults.
The goal is to improve the health of Michigan residents and lower the cost of health care.
Hillegonds is encouraging interested local nonprofit organizations to go to mhealthfund.com for more information.
