The SHF Board of Directors will communicate with a variety of stakeholders throughout the Upper Peninsula to receive input and feedback on how SHF can have the most effective impact on health issues in the communities of the U.P. The feedback we receive will help us to develop a strategic grantmaking policy for serving our communities. Following the approval of the Strategic Grantmaking Policy, we will develop a grant-making timetable.
