Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve Budget Ordinance Amendment No. 25BCC029 Public Health to Recognize $60,234 from The Duke Endowment to Support the Partnership for a Healthy Durham
These funds will be used to support the Partnership for a Healthy Durham, a coalition improving the health of Durham’s residents. This endowment supports a full-time position that is already included in FY 24-25 budget and activities that fulfill the Community Health Improvement Plan to equitably decrease chronic illness in Durham residents. An annual amount of $150,000 has been awarded to the Durham County Department of Public Health for each year through FY 27-28. Eighty nine thousand seven hundred and sixty-six dollars ($89,766) has already been approved in the FY 24-25 budget, thus this amendment only requests the remaining award to be recognized.
Please note that this amendment requires no additional County funds.
The Board of Health has approved this amendment.
