Community Health grant FAQ
Who funds community health programs?
Community Health programs are funded by the same health ecosystem as the rest of the field: HRSA, SAMHSA, and the CDC at the federal level, the state and county health departments that administer and re-grant federal public health and block-grant funds, and private and community foundations. Some funders run dedicated lines; many fund this work through broader health and public health programs.
What can community health grants pay for?
Funding for community and public health programs — community health centers, health-disparity and health-equity work, chronic-disease and maternal health, screening, prevention, and immunization — for FQHCs, county and local health departments, clinics, and health nonprofits. Typical eligible costs include clinical and program staff time, treatment and care services, curriculum and equipment, participant and patient supportive services, outreach, and program operations for FQHCs, clinics, treatment providers, county health departments, and health nonprofits.
