Summary
The funding opportunities described on the national foundation’s website focus on supporting health justice, community advocacy, and capacity building across the United States. This private foundation awards competitive grants exclusively to U.S.-based, nonprofit organizations that align with its mission to strengthen community power and improve health outcomes. Individuals and for-profit entities are not eligible to receive direct funding, and the foundation does not fund biomedical research, direct medical services, capital campaigns, event sponsorships, or partisan political activity.
One notable annual funding stream is the capacity-building advocacy grant, which provides multi-year financial support to nonprofits engaged in health equity, organizing, civic engagement, and power-building work at local, state, or national levels. These awards typically range between roughly $25,000 and $150,000 per year and may continue for up to five years, depending on the program design and organizational fit. The intent is to help organizations deepen their infrastructure, strengthen leadership, and build long-term advocacy and engagement capacity rather than simply funding short-term programming.
In addition to capacity grants, the foundation offers targeted initiatives such as innovation grants and vaccine equity funding, which are designed to catalyze promising approaches that advance health justice or address specific community-identified challenges. These opportunities vary in award size and scope, often supporting strategic projects developed in collaboration with community partners or coalition networks.
Eligible applicants are typically 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations or entities with appropriate fiscal sponsors working anywhere in the United States. Many of the foundation’s grants encourage or require partnership models, where lead organizations share portions of award funds with coalition members or allied groups to expand reach and impact. Awards are made on a rolling or competitive cycle and can span multiple years, reflecting a long-term investment in organizational strength and systemic change rather than short-term deliverables.
Overall, the foundation’s grantmaking is intended to empower community-centered efforts that address the root causes of health inequities and support durable infrastructure for advocacy and civic engagement across diverse populations nationwide.
