Because Promotor(a) programs can address many topics in many settings, organizations that implement them can find funding from a variety of sources. The Guide to Grant Opportunities and Resources for Promotor(a) Programs is meant to guide and support those seeking grant funding for Promotor(a)programs. This Guide focuses specifically on identifying grant opportunities and resources.

Community Health Workers (CHWs) encompass a wide variety of specific roles and titles, but they generally represent a link between members of the community and existing health care resources. While their primary role may be linking vulnerable populations and the health care system, additional roles may include case management, translation and cultural competence support, advocacy, informal counseling and building community capacity.

Program evaluation is an essential component of any successful Community Health Worker program. Obtaining regular feedback from community members of the target population adds an important dimension to this evaluation. Determining whether the program meets the needs of the people it aims to serve can assist Health Centers in modifying or reinforcing its program activities to best address the needs and interests of the community. Ideally, this feedback is collected at least once a year, usually at the middle or end of a program year.
