Summary
This is a national funding opportunity for community-based organizations interested in addressing public health disparities through advocacy and education. This opportunity is specifically tailored for nonprofit entities operating within the United States, including U.S. territories and Tribal lands. While businesses and individuals are not eligible, coalitions or alliances led by nonprofits are welcome to apply.
The grant supports initiatives that raise awareness about pressing health issues, with a strong emphasis on community engagement and policy advocacy. Funding is intended to help nonprofits organize local or regional events, workshops, or advocacy efforts that elevate community voices and address broader systemic health and social challenges. These events may focus on topics like health equity, access to care, or education around specific public health conditions.
Award amounts for this opportunity can go up to $15,000 per grantee. The funding is designed to support work over the course of a 12-month period. Projects should reflect a commitment to equity, and applicants are encouraged to involve community members directly impacted by the issues being addressed.
Eligible organizations must have tax-exempt status and be based within one of the 50 states, Washington D.C., U.S. territories, or sovereign Tribal nations. Applications from organizations with a history of engaging in grassroots advocacy or working on health-related community outreach are especially encouraged.
This grant offers more than financial support—it creates a platform for local voices to influence policy and drive change. Recipients benefit from association with a larger national initiative and gain visibility for their local work. By supporting efforts that bridge local experience with broader advocacy goals, the funding helps amplify the impact of small organizations striving to make a difference in public health outcomes. The opportunity opens once per year, and selected recipients are notified ahead of the grant period’s official start.
Organizations and individuals based in New York who are engaged in Non-Profit Support Services may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
