About community health grants

Community health grants fund local organizations that improve health where people live, focusing on prevention, access, and reducing barriers to care. Major funders include the CDC, HRSA, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the American Heart Association, which all support community-based programs led by nonprofits, health departments, and clinics. These grants typically pay for outreach, chronic-disease prevention, health screenings, and partnerships that address the social conditions shaping health.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow community health grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much money do community health grants award?

Of the 1,084 community health grants Grantable lists as of October 17, 2026, 554 publish an award amount. The median listed award is $50K, and the middle half fall between $10K and $238K. The largest is $10M. Amounts are each grant's stated maximum, so a typical award can be smaller.

Among dated deadlines, 33% fall in July–September.

What grants are available for community health programs?

Community health funding supports prevention campaigns, chronic-disease management, mobile and free clinics, health screenings, and coalition-building. The CDC funds community-based prevention work, HRSA supports community and federally qualified health centers, and foundations fund neighborhood-level wellness initiatives. Many grants emphasize culturally appropriate programming and measurable improvements in local health outcomes.

Which foundations and agencies fund community health?

The CDC and HRSA are the leading federal funders, supporting health departments, community-based organizations, and clinics. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funds healthy-communities and health-equity work, and the American Heart Association offers Community Impact Grants for cardiovascular health promotion and wellness programs. Regional health foundations and hospital community-benefit programs are also significant local sources.

Can small or grassroots organizations qualify for community health grants?

Yes. Many community health funders specifically prioritize small, community-based, and faith-based organizations rooted in the populations they serve. Federal programs like the CDC's community initiatives and foundation community grants are often open to local 501(c)(3) nonprofits, though some require partnerships with health departments or established health providers. Demonstrating community trust and measurable reach strengthens these applications.
