Funding Details
Program goal
To improve the effectiveness, responsiveness, and equity of health care for marginalized and underserved communities and populations.
Grants are made to
- Address existing health disparities and improve access to quality healthcare.
- Provide access to comprehensive and coordinated care for those who remain uninsured or underinsured.
- Provide screening and early intervention for effective treatment of disease.
- Support maternal and child health care—including services, prevention, and education.
Health grants are accepted and reviewed during cycle 3 (August deadline).
Eligible applicants in Nassau County include hospitals and Federally Qualified Health Centers. Eligible applicants in Suffolk County include hospitals, health care facilities, and nonprofit organizations with projects that align with our program goals.
Grants are made for one year at a time; proposals submitted for renewed funding are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, but only after a final report on the use of the previous grant has been received and approved by Trust staff.
