Seed funding for health promotion: sowing sustainability or skepticism?

Joan Wharf Higgins, Patti-Jean Naylor and Meghan Day

Address for correspondence: jwharfhi{at}uvic.ca

Seed-funding opportunities are popular means for governments to distribute monies and groom communities to embed the funded activities into local ecology. The success of seed funding in nurturing community capacity and engendering program sustainability is controversial. This article discusses a recent seed-funding experience in the Canadian province of British Columbia.
