Limits on Applications and Awards

The Missouri Foundation for Health wants to assure that its funds are widely distributed both programmatically and geographically (within the 84 counties and the City of St. Louis that comprise the MFH service area).

To accomplish this goal, the following limits apply to all grant programs:

• The total amount of new grants provided to any single organization in any fiscal year is limited to an amount equal to 10 percent of the total allocated by MFH for distribution in that year. However, this limitation shall not include grants that are joint efforts with community organization(s) in which a community organization is the lead applicant and responsible organization under the grant.
  
  
• Effective January 2005, no single organization can have more than three (3) applications under review in a single grant program at any one point in time, regardless of the amount requested.
  
  
• MFH funding cannot exceed 25 percent of an organization's annual operating expense. Each year, the total annual funding from all MFH current grants/contracts with an organization is considered in calculating the 25 percent limit.
