THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Health, Community, Disadvantaged Communities
Deadline: Oct. 25, 2019
“Organizations and communities across Washington are doing powerful work to improve health equity: from community organizing and leadership development, to cultural work to heal from trauma of racism and colonialism, to public education and policy advocacy. Group Health Foundation is eager to support this work. The Foundation will make up to $15,000,000 in Community Learning Grants in 2019—with more opportunities to come in 2020 and beyond. Grants are for three years to provide core support to organizations and fiscally-sponsored projects.
We have a broad and inclusive definition of health, and we look forward to learning about and supporting organizations that are addressing social determinants of health, pursuing community-defined health priorities, and working toward a more just and healthy civic life. Community Learning Grants prioritize:
- Organizations and fiscally-sponsored projects that may be smaller or newer, and that have had less access to philanthropy and major donors.
- Culturally-specific, cross-racial, and disability-led groups that are founded by people most impacted and led by the people whom they were created to serve.
- Community-rooted groups with inventive, new, and overlooked ideas for changing systems—racial, social, legal, economic, governmental and more—that underpin opportunity and health. As grantmakers and policy advocates we are especially concerned with who has power in those systems—as well as the question of who should have power, and how to get there.”
Funder: Group Health Foundation
Eligibility: “Organizations and fiscally-sponsored projects whose work has significant impact on the people of Washington State. This includes organizations whose work is exclusively inside our borders, as well as those whose efforts impact individuals and families along Washington’s borders. We expect most funding will support nonprofit organizations (e.g., 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), etc.) and tribal entities. In some cases, we may consider support for state or local governmental organizations.”
