This funding opportunity is designed to support community-based efforts that aim to improve well-being and address challenges that affect overall health. Available in select areas, this grant offers varying award amounts, typically reaching into the tens of thousands annually, with the potential for multi-year support depending on the scope and sustainability of the project.
The funding is intended for nonprofit organizations, small community groups, and certain public-serving institutions that are working to uplift underserved populations. These could include individuals facing barriers such as limited access to care, housing instability, food insecurity, or other pressing social and health-related needs. Programs that promote wellness, build connections to vital resources, or support long-term health equity are all considered for this opportunity.
The intent of the grant is to strengthen local systems that support healthy living through education, outreach, direct services, or collaboration. Funding can be used for staffing, program materials, training, community events, or other operational needs that align with the overall mission to promote health and well-being.
A formal review process ensures that funded proposals reflect community needs and demonstrate potential for impact. Recipients may have the opportunity to renew their funding over several years, provided they can show measurable progress and plans for long-term effectiveness.
Grantees also benefit from the chance to partner with other community leaders and service providers, creating a more unified approach to local challenges. While the focus is broad, priority is often given to proposals that take a holistic, inclusive, and sustainable approach to supporting vulnerable communities.
This grant is ideal for nonprofit organizations and grassroots efforts within the region that are dedicated to making a meaningful difference in community health. Funding amounts vary, but projects with clear goals and community alignment are strongly encouraged to apply.
