Overview

The California Health Care Foundation, an independent nonprofit philanthropy, funds organizations for California health-care projects aligned with its strategic goals; most grants are competitive RFPs or to pre-identified grantees, plus unsolicited LOIs accepted rolling. CHCF also runs a Health Innovation Fund making program-related investments (venture capital, ~$1M/deal) into Medicaid/safety-net companies; CHCF deploys ~$40M/year across grants and investments.

How to Apply

Organizations working on California health care aligned with CHCF's strategic goals apply either through a competitive Request for Proposals (see Current RFPs) or by submitting a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) by email to CHCF Grants Administration (project description, strategic-goal fit, timeline, amount requested, contact). LOIs are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis with no due dates. CHCF does not fund individuals, direct clinical care, general operations, equipment, construction, or basic biomedical research.
