IHA Community Grants
The IHA Community Grants program offers small grants to community organizations that conduct health projects. A few examples include funds for the Cayuga Nature Center (CNC), which received grants to train its Bobcat camp counselors in CPR and resources to buy medical supplies and protective gear for CNC staff. IHA has also used Community Grants to subsidize shares in a Cornell Cooperative Extension program that makes food from the area's community-supported agriculture program available to low-income families. Recently under the grants program IHA and other health education agencies joined with a local environmental group, Sustainable Tompkins, for presentations centered on "Sustainable Health Care for All."

—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
“... liberty is the one thing no man can have unless he grants it to others.”
