Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Grants
Attorney General Martha Coakley’s Office has awarded over $433,000 in grants to nine nonprofit community agencies and health advocacy organizations in an effort to increase childhood lead poisoning awareness, reduce lead poisoning, and increase the percentage of children who are screened for lead exposure. The funding for the grants stems from a national, multi-state settlement agreement with Mattel, Inc., and its subsidiary, Fisher-Price, Inc., which resolved a 15-month investigation into the events that lead to a voluntary recall of the companies’ toys due to the presence of excessive lead paint in accessible surface coatings and substrates. For a full list of grantees, visit the Grant Opportunities section of our website or view a press release about the grants.
