Foundation for a Healthy High Point Announces Fall 2021 Call for Proposals

6/22/2021

Nonprofit organizations located in or serving residents within the Foundation’s service area that are working towards improved health and wellness are invited to explore funding opportunities available from the Foundation for a Healthy High Point.

The Foundation offers two competitive grant programs:

Traditional Grants Program for funding requests exceeding $10,000
Small Grants Program for funding requests up to $10,000

Traditional Grant Program - Letter of Interest Due August 1, 2021

Specific Topics and Priority Areas
For the Fall 2021 Traditional Grant Program, the Foundation specifically seeks requests that support one of its two priority focus areas (see below). The Foundation is especially interested in requests that seek to foster collaboration among partners/providers, achieve collective impact, and establish sustainable systems of care.

Healthy Beginnings supports programs and/or system/community-level interventions that seek to promote healthy births, early childhood development, and teen pregnancy prevention.

Examples of potential requests of interest might include:
- Efforts to build connected and comprehensive systems of care to support maternal health and early childhood development.
- Support for scaling evidence-based programs or deepening the reach of those programs within specific communities or zip codes to reduce persistent disparities.
- Efforts that explore business planning or capacity building to establish funding mechanisms to support program sustainability.

Healthy Minds supports capacity-building efforts to strengthen the behavioral health system, improve coordination of care among behavioral health providers, and efforts to provide/improve integrated systems of care (i.e. integrate mental health services into primary care or vice versa).

Examples of potential requests of interest might include:
- Support for organizations that are integrating behavioral health services or planning to incorporate such services.
- Efforts that support internal planning for collaborative work with external mental health agencies to incorporate health services.
- Program capacity-building projects that result in new, expanded, or enhanced services.
- Support of an effort with two or more agency partners to address a collective concern that will result in greater access and service delivery.
- Organization capacity-building that will result in improved quality: peer review and feedback for internal quality improvements, program assessment and implementation of recommendations, business planning, start-up staff that can be sustained, revenue enhancement that is reinvested into program enhancement or sustainability.

Organizations that are interested in submitting a proposal for the Traditional Grant Program should complete a Letter of Interest (LOI). An LOI can be submitted at any time during the year using the Foundation’s online grants management system and will be reviewed by the Foundation two times a year during the Spring and Fall cycles. After the LOI is reviewed, the Foundation will notify the organization if it will be invited to submit an application. For more information on the Traditional Grants Program, please click here.

Fall 2021 Deadline for Letters of Interest - August 1 by 3 p.m.

LOIs must be submitted by 3 p.m. to be considered for the current cycle. Letters submitted after 3 p.m. will be considered for the next deadline.
