Grantmaking Overview
While grantmaking is just part of how we live out our mission, it is central to our work as a foundation and investor in the health of North Carolina.
Overview
Grants are investments – in organizations, in people, in health. The grants we make are a commitment to further the work of organizations, collaborations, and communities across the state. We invite applications based on specific strategic objectives or announce broader opportunities to apply for funding on a periodic basis. Grants can range from targeted small-dollar amounts to large, multi-year partnerships.
Overall, we invest in clearly defined and results-oriented initiatives that are aligned with our grantmaking and strategic priorities. Specifically, our grantmaking supports:
- Access to Care, so that every community in North Carolina’s primary and behavioral health needs are served by a talented, engaged, diverse, and robust workforce.
- Early Childhood, so that every child in North Carolina from birth to age five has the opportunity and resources to be healthy and well-prepared for success in school, work, and life.
- Healthy Communities, so that every community in North Carolina has the conditions for good health.
- Healthy Food, so that everyone in North Carolina has access to healthy food.
- Oral Health, so that everyone in North Carolina has access to quality, affordable oral health services.
