Grantové řízení | Nadace Umění pro zdraví

Description of initiative

The Art for Health Foundation was founded in 1991 after a meeting of artists and journalists with employees of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic in Mánes. Its activity focuses on the creation and correction of the environment by artistic means and on the support of education in the Czech Republic. Since the beginning, the foundation has been working with artists, art school students, and health professionals to improve the environment of medical and social facilities. The endowment projects are based on the fact that the modified, friendly and cultural environment has a very positive effect on the mental and health status of patients, especially pediatric patients, and thus indirectly helps the work of doctors and all health professionals in treatment. In 2022, the foundation initiated a Grant procedure, inviting Czech organizations that lead projects focusing on youth or projects aimed at using art to improve the environment of medical and social facilities to apply for funding.
