A regional grant opportunity is available to support nonprofit organizations and public agencies focused on advancing community health objectives identified through a local health planning process. The program funds initiatives that address one or more priority areas—improving access to primary healthcare, behavioral health, community cohesion, or housing stability. Funding aims to support short-term, measurable projects aligned with the broader community health strategy.
Eligible applicants include registered nonprofit groups and local government entities; individuals and private businesses are not eligible. Applicants must address at least one priority area and demonstrate a clear plan for implementation and evaluation. Preference is given to organizations that have not received funding in the previous cycle, ensuring broad participation and equitable distribution.
Funds can be used for capacity-building activities, outreach, program implementation, and pilot initiatives tied to the community’s health priorities. Projects should be designed to deliver tangible outcomes within a one-year timeframe and may require applicant presentations to a review committee. This support is structured as a one-time award and is not intended for ongoing operational costs.
Grant requests can be up to $20,000 per organization, though actual award amounts vary based on scope and funding availability. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until resources are exhausted. Decisions are typically communicated within approximately 90 days of submission, allowing for timely project starts. Applicants will participate in support sessions to discuss strategies and ensure alignment with community needs.
This opportunity is offered annually and continues throughout the cycle, enabling projects to begin quickly after approval. The funding distribution is overseen by a community advisory body in partnership with a local health plan and broader healthcare stakeholders.
