Esther Tomljanovich Strategic Initiative One grant awarded up to $200,000
Strategic initiatives allow us to make community investments on a larger and more impactful scale to advance health equity. We seek “big ideas” that are transformational, innovative, and catalysts for systemic improvements in health outcomes. Successfully funded past proposals have been on a larger scale than our typical program grants. The goal is to provide more flexibility for our grant partners to implement longer-term projects and evaluate their impact. We may award a strategic grant over the course of two or even three years.
Proposals should address one of the following focus areas: • Community outreach to increase pediatric immunization rates • Mental and/or chemical health needs for youth ages 12-19 • Mental health needs due to historical trauma and racism
To be eligible, organizations must: • Have received a Medica Foundation Behavioral Health, Early Childhood Health, or Esther Tomljanovich Strategic Initiative grant in the last five years • Be in good standing with a successfully completed grant • Have an organizational budget with revenue of at least $1 million • Be located and operate in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, or westernWisconsin
