Summary
This funding opportunity includes several grant options designed to support efforts that improve health access and promote more equitable health outcomes within a single northeastern state. The overall focus is on strengthening community-driven work, reducing systemic barriers, and supporting organizations that serve populations facing disparities in health access and outcomes. All supported activities must benefit communities within the state.
One set of grants is intended for short-term projects that allow organizations to explore new or different approaches to their work. These grants support clearly defined initiatives with practical outcomes, such as pilot programs, strategic planning efforts, or limited organizational development activities. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and educational institutions based in the state. Individuals and for-profit businesses are not eligible. The intent of these funds is to encourage innovation and experimentation that can lead to improved health services or access.
Another funding opportunity supports meetings and convenings that bring together community members, service providers, and stakeholders to strengthen collaboration around health equity. These grants help cover basic costs associated with organizing local, regional, or statewide meetings that improve coordination, share knowledge, or foster dialogue related to health access and community well-being. Nonprofits, government entities, and educational institutions hosting meetings within the state may apply.
Longer-term funding is also available to help nonprofit organizations build internal capacity and sustainability. These grants emphasize unrestricted support, allowing organizations to strengthen leadership, systems, and infrastructure while advancing health equity for underserved communities. Priority is generally given to organizations led by or serving populations that experience structural barriers to health, such as rural residents, older adults, and other marginalized groups.
Additional grants focus on system-level improvement and innovation. These opportunities support planning and implementation efforts that address policies, practices, or organizational systems influencing health access. Eligible applicants include nonprofits, public agencies, and educational institutions working on collaborative, community-informed solutions within the state.
