As of March 15, 2012, the Foundation is placing a hold on new requests for capacity grants, advocacy grants and CEO discretionary grants due to a large number of requests already under review. New requests may be considered in the fall should any discretionary funding remain. If you have a proposal in process, please contact a program officer to determine if your application will be considered at this time.
These grants support public policy and advocacy activities that address health care quality and access.

Grants may be used for planning efforts, research, focus groups, convenings, lobbying, and outreach and education to consumers and policy leaders. Funded activities must be carried out in the Foundation’s geographic service area.
