About health education grants
Health education grants fund programs that improve health literacy, patient education, and prevention knowledge in communities and clinical settings. Federal funders including the CDC and NIH support health-literacy initiatives and educational programming, while national philanthropies and corporate funders back community health-education efforts. These grants typically pay for educational workshops, accessible materials, and training for health educators and community health workers.
A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow health education grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much money do health education grants award?

In all, 545 funders have at least one active grant in this category.
When are health education grants due?
Of 749 grants listed, 17 accept applications on a rolling basis, 32 have a published upcoming deadline, 126 run on a stated cycle (such as annual or quarterly) without a published date, and 574 don't publish a deadline, so check the funder's site. Among dated deadlines, 56% fall in October–December.
What grants are available for health education programs?
Funding supports health-literacy initiatives, patient and community education, prevention campaigns, and training for health educators and community health workers. Grants can pay for developing accessible educational materials, running workshops, and building school- or clinic-based education programs. Funders often prioritize populations with limited health literacy, including older adults, low-income communities, and historically underserved groups.
Who funds health education and health literacy work?
The CDC supports health-literacy and public-health education efforts, and the NIH has funded a substantial body of health-literacy research across many of its institutes and centers. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funds education and prevention initiatives, and national public-health intermediaries help channel federal funding to local programs. Many opportunities are open to nonprofits, schools, clinics, and public agencies.
What is the difference between research and program grants here?
Research grants, such as those NIH awards, study how health education and literacy affect outcomes and disparities. Program grants fund the delivery of education itself: workshops, materials, and educator training. If your goal is to run direct community education, target program and community grants; if you aim to evaluate or build evidence, look to research-oriented funders. Confirm eligibility, as research grants often require an academic or clinical partner.
