Changes to the LFP Program

As explained in a letter from Jane Isaacs Lowe, Ph.D., Team Director of Vulnerable Populations at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation: although no additional Calls for Proposals for the LFP Annual Grantmaking program are anticipated at this time, the staff at the LFP national program office remain engaged with you and your funders. Read the letter.

Throughout the life of your grant, the staff will continue to discuss strategy with you, offer technical assistance, monitor your progress and respond to your reports. Please call us any time at the LFP office 609-275-4128.

In Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Local Funding Partnerships (LFP), agencies that typically do not work together often join forces with funders, public entities, and established and emerging community groups to form uncommon connections and find effective solutions to local health challenges. By adding the resources of a large, national foundation—offering training and technical assistance as well as funds, we hope to lay the groundwork for local collaborations to forge a lasting enterprise.
