C) Information Dissemination: the Community Health Improvement Network, created brochures disseminating public health information dispelling myths about the COVID-19 vaccine to spread vaccine confidence in Lauderdale, Neshoba, & Kemper counties. The Montgomery Institute continued as the sponsor of the Kemper, Neshoba, and Noxubee Counties tobacco-free coalition program that disseminates anti-tobacco information to students in three counties of East Mississippi. TMI maintains its www.tmi.ms website to provide information to citizens and community leaders in the bi-state region. D) Resource Gathering: During this fiscal year, The Montgomery Institute received grants and contributions supporting initiatives that addressed leadership and workforce development, strategic thinking and analysis, and information dissemination: 1) private foundation and business and individual gifts supporting the Meridian Freedom Project; and 2) public funds supporting the Kemper, Neshoba, and Noxubee Counties tobacco-free coalition program. TMI also maintained its endowment. TMI received contributions from individuals and businesses to be used as matching funds for grants and to support operations. 3) The Community Health Improvement Network used data gathered from Community Needs Assessments from local hospitals to support community health education through Lunch & Learn events for the underserved and underprivileged population.
