The Michigan Health Endowment Fund has approved 11 grants totaling $4.7 million for behavioral health programs.

Some 60 organizations submitted proposals for funding that would "improve access to high quality, person-centered, and integrated mental health and substance use disorder services for Michigan children and seniors," according to the endowments' request for proposal.

Grant proposals for the endowment's healthy aging project are due Aug. 15.

In 2013, the health endowment fund was created by state legislation that allowed Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan to convert into a nonprofit mutual health insurer. The fund will receive $1.56 billion over 18 years from the Blues. The annual amount depends on the financial health of the Blues.

So far, the endowment fund has awarded more than $60 million in grants.
