This initiative emphasizes the importance of strategic collaboration among organizations to tackle systemic inequities effectively.

Overview

NOTE: Qualified respondents are invited to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) until the specified deadline (or until funds have been exhausted). Responses will be considered on a rolling basis. Health Equity Fund Achieving health equity requires more than improving individual health outcomes and expanding access to services. A vision for health equity demands that we directly engage the social determinants of health —societal factors that have been shaped by centuries of laws, public policies, behaviors, and practices that have worked together to produce the disparate outcomes we see today. The Health Equity Fund will offer grant opportunities for demonstration projects that provide proof of concept and determine potential for scalability. The projects must consist of two or more partner organizations working collaboratively in a new and targeted way to implement economic mobility models that increase strategic economic participation and build community wealth for people and communities with the greatest economic and health disparities. Funding Respondents should request the funding necessary to support the project.
