The project seeks to address issues of health inequities by bringing under served communities together with health policy and decision makers to create more equitable decision-making processes. 2022 highlights included continued collaboration with over 230 people participating in facilitation and community dialogue sessions. A Community Voices for Health Toolkit was produced and was shared locally, regionally, and statewide. In September 2022 Robert Wood Johnson awarded CJAM an additional $350,000 in flexible core support funding. This core support funding will allow CJAM to continue several CVH initiatives along with building CJAM's internal capacity and strengthening program infrastructure. 0 0 0 212178 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 8 0 1 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 IN X Elizabeth Grenat 8123368677 205 S Walnut Street Suite 16 Bloomington IN 47404 X Ellizabeth Grenat Executive Director 40 0 X 47916 0 0 Ed Greenebaum Board Member 5 0 X 0 0 0 Jody Madeira Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jerry Siefers Board member 2 0 X 0 0 0 John Fishbone Board Member 3 X 0 0 0 John Alme Board Vice President 3 0 X 0 0 0 Vanessa Roberts Board President 4 0 X 0 0 0 Roberta Wysong Board Secretary 4.00 0 X 0 0 0 Susan Klein Board Treasurer 3 0 X 0 0 0 47916 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4580 0 36589 166803 0 207972 0 0 0 0 0 6196 4580 1351 4845 0 4845 0 212817 0 0 4845 X 123882 111903 9583 2396 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10536 8155 2107 274 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 69282 69282 0 0 2566 1846 513 207 10370 7702 2074 594 2809 1966 562 281 0 0 0 0 10774 7991 2154 629 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1105 1062 29 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2823 1976 565 282 421 295 84 42 234568 212178 17671 4719 94030 371247 5028 10030 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 99058 381277 2639 0 0 0 302353 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 304992 X 0 0 0 0 99058 76285 99058 76285 99058 381277 -21751 0 0 0 -1022 0 X 0 0 0 X 65622 89017 231968 211023 213817 811447 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 65622 89017 231968 211023 213817 811447 811447 1 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 811449 1.00000 1.00000 X Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Members provided with a PDF copy of the 990 via email.
