Mayo Clinic Announces Grant Program To Combat Racism, Promote Diversity

Mayo Clinic
The Mayo Clinic Florida campus in Jacksonville.

Nonprofit groups working to eliminate racism and promote diversity on the First Coast can apply for a chance at getting financial help from the Mayo Clinic.

Mayo’s EverybodyIN Fund for Change has $35,000 to hand out in Northeast Florida — up to $10,000 per grant. 

The deadline to apply is November 29.

Mayo created the fund by matching its employees’ contributions.

A total of $200,000 is available across the Mayo Clinic’s communities in Arizona, Florida, Rochester and the Mayo Clinic Health System. 

Organizations with questions can contact FLACommunityRelations@mayo.edu or learn more at this Mayo Clinic webpage.
