Grants for Nonprofits - Health

The City of Flagstaff Sustainability Office and Sustainability Commission are offering the Neighborhood Sustainability Grants (NSG) Program. This program aims to provide funding for innovative projects that improve community sustainability and promote healthy lifestyles through collaborative community partnerships. While specific foundation mission alignment, strategic priorities, or theory of change are not explicitly stated as coming from a "foundation," the program's goals directly align with the broader mission of urban sustainability and community well-being as typically pursued by municipal sustainability offices and commissions. The NSG Program targets a broad range of beneficiaries including individuals, groups of individuals, community groups, educational groups, nonprofit organizations, churches, and locally owned businesses. These applicants must be undertaking projects within the Flagstaff city limits. The impact goals are to enhance community sustainability, promote healthy lifestyles, meaningfully involve underserved communities, diverse groups, or vulnerable populations, build community partnerships, and facilitate volunteer engagement or management. The program prioritizes projects that align with at least one of its three core goals: involving underserved communities, building partnerships, or facilitating volunteer engagement. Additionally, projects must fall into one of the following categories: Building Energy, Climate Action, Food, Public Health, Resilience, Transportation, or Waste. These categories represent the key focuses for achieving Flagstaff's sustainability objectives. Expected outcomes include the successful implementation of creative community projects that address sustainability challenges. Measurable results would be evidenced by the number of projects funded, the reach of those projects within the community, the level of community engagement and partnerships fostered, and tangible improvements in the designated sustainability categories. The program anticipates awarding a total of $75,000 in 2024, with individual grants capped at $7,500, indicating a focus on supporting multiple, smaller-scale community-led initiatives rather than a few large projects.

On November 6, 2018, California voters passed Proposition 4, the Children's Hospital Bond Act of 2018. The purpose of the program is to improve the health and welfare of California’s critically ill children, by providing a stable and ready source of funds for capital improvement projects for eligible hospitals. The California Health Facilities Financing Authority (CHFFA) is responsible for administering the program. Language in Proposition 4 identifies 13 children’s hospitals in California (referred to as “Children’s Hospitals”) as eligible for $1.35 billion in funding. The 13 Children's Hospitals designated by statute are the same as the 13 hospitals that received grants under the first two Children’s Hospital Programs also administered by CHFFA and enacted by Proposition 61 in 2004 and Proposition 3 in 2008. The 13 Children’s Hospitals consist of eight private nonprofit Children’s Hospitals and five University of California Children’s Hospitals. Grant awards for each private nonprofit Children’s Hospital was limited to $135 million, less costs of issuance and administrative costs. Grant awards for each University of California Children’s Hospital was limited to $54 million, less costs of issuance and administrative costs. Costs of issuance are $0.75 per $1,000 of the authorized grant award and administrative costs are $10.00 per $1,000 of the authorized grant award. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis until June 30, 2033 and are due the first business day of each month, except October and November, and will be presented to the Authority the following month. For the month of October, Applications are due on October 7. Applications received on October 7 will be presented for Authority consideration at a regularly scheduled meeting in December or January. Applications are not accepted in November. Applications shall be submitted in duplicate to the Authority. Each Children’s Hospital may apply more than once. Submit completed Application by mail or in-person to: California Health Facilities Financing Authority Children’s Hospital Program 901 P Street Room 313 Sacramento, CA 95814

The "Safety and Early Efficacy Studies of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy for Chronic Pain in Older Adults" grant aims to fund a network of clinical trials that will study the safety and potential effectiveness of psychedelic drugs in treating chronic pain in older adults, with a focus on those aged 75 and above.

The Prevent Cancer Foundation's 2024-2026 Community Grant Program is designed to empower individuals to proactively manage their cancer risk through prevention and early detection. This initiative directly aligns with the Foundation's mission to stay ahead of cancer, providing crucial resources for community-level activities focused on cancer prevention—including education and vaccination—and screening. The program aims to support projects that will have a significant positive impact, particularly in underserved and disproportionately affected communities across the United States, including tribal areas and territories. The target beneficiaries of this program are communities that face structural inequities and are historically marginalized. The primary impact goal is to reduce cancer incidence and improve early detection rates within these populations. Awarded projects will be selected through a competitive cycle, with a strong emphasis on initiatives that actively work to dismantle systemic barriers to healthcare. This includes engaging individuals with lived experiences and ensuring that patient navigators, staff, and leadership reflect the priority population being served, thereby fostering culturally sensitive care. Key priorities for funding include projects that address an unmet need within an organization or community, make intentional efforts to reach historically underserved groups, and involve community members in all stages—planning, implementation, and evaluation. Furthermore, the Foundation prioritizes projects that contribute to systemic change and demonstrate sustainability beyond the grant period. The theory of change underpinning this program is that by investing in community-led prevention and early detection efforts, particularly in vulnerable populations, the Foundation can create lasting improvements in health outcomes and reduce cancer-related disparities. The expected outcomes of the grants are a measurable increase in cancer prevention knowledge, vaccination rates, and early detection screenings in targeted communities. Successful projects will demonstrate a tangible positive impact, contributing to the Foundation's strategic priority of promoting health equity and preventing cancer before it starts or finding it at its most treatable stages. The Foundation will provide $100,000 grants over two years ($50,000 per year), with the expectation that these funds will enable comprehensive and impactful interventions that can extend their benefits well beyond the initial grant duration.

This funding opportunity supports innovative research teams using non-human animal models to develop advanced methods for measuring and analyzing behavior in relation to environmental factors.

HIV infection and substance use are comorbid conditions that bidirectionally and synergistically influence the deleterious outcomes in people who suffer from substance use disorders (SUD). The persistence and transcriptional reactivation of HIV lead to the development of neuropathological complications. Strategies to address viral latency include silencing of HIV transcription and reactivation and clearance. The goal of this initiative is to support research aimed at (1) identification of targets and pathways by which transcriptional activity of HIV can be suppressed in HIV reservoirs including the CNS in people with SUD, and (2) application of emerging small molecule drug discovery approaches to identify novel compounds that can be utilized as pharmacological probes and as drugs to suppress HIV transcription in people with HIV-SUD comorbidity.
