Our Funding Areas
We focus on promoting improvements in health outcomes and equitable solutions to reduce health disparities. We give priority to proposals that build partnerships and collaborations within communities and embrace trauma-sensitive practices, with a strengths-based approach to care and treatment.
Behavioral Health Individual grants up to $50,000
We seek proposals for new or expanding programs that provide support for people of all ages around serious mental illness and chemical addiction recovery. This includes programs that address service delivery gaps; integrate physical and mental health care; address co-occurring disorders; attend to the mental health needs of children experiencing homelessness; and provide supportive and intensive case management services.
Early Childhood Health Individual grants up to $25,000
We seek proposals for new or expanding early intervention programs that focus on developing healthy families to foster optimal growth and development for children from birth through age 12. Programs should embrace the needs of the whole-child/whole-family and may incorporate the two-generation approach that’s central to supporting children and parents. Eligible programs include those that improve access to prenatal and postpartum care; address preventive health and dental care; enhance parenting skills; support developmental, social, and emotional health, and/or improve maternal health outcomes and birth equity for women of color.
Note: Non-health-related education and lifestyle programs, including physical activity and nutrition, are ineligible.
Rural Health Individual grants between $5,000 and $10,000
We aim to fund nonprofit, community-led solutions that address health concerns in rural communities. That allows us to support the specific health needs of people in the community and to address the social determinants of health. Funding is available to organizations outside of the seven-county Twin Cities metropolitan area in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and westernWisconsin; and to any organizations outside of the Omaha metro area in Nebraska, and in southwestern Iowa.
