Details:
The California Health Care Foundation (CHCF) is an independent, nonprofit philanthropy dedicated to advancing meaningful, measurable improvements in the way the health care delivery system provides care to the people of California. They know that health care is a basic necessity and work hard to improve California’s health care system so it works for all Californians. Because Californians with low incomes experience the biggest health burden and face the greatest barriers to care, our priority is to make sure they can get the care they need.
CHCF seeks to continue its support of the CHW/P workforce in California. Specifically, the foundation is seeking interested applicants for either or both of the following two initiatives:
- Capacity-Building Collaboratives. CHCF would like to expand the size and impact of the CHW/P workforce through four regional capacity-building collaboratives for health care providers, managed care plans, community-based organizations, CHW/P training entities, and other partners.
- CHW/P Policy Coalition. CHCF aims to increase the capacity of CHW/Ps and the organizations that work closely with the CHW/P workforce to engage in policy and advocacy work with a shared agenda.
Funding Information
Approximately $200,000–$300,000 will be available for a total of two years of funding.
Eligibility Criteria
The foundation is open to responses from individual organizations as well as collaborations in which two or more organizations partner to collectively meet the requirements of this call for LOIs. For such collaborations, one organization will need to be identified to take a lead role and should respond to the request for LOIs on behalf of the collaborative. Ultimately, that applicant organization will be responsible for administering funds, managing and being accountable for project timelines and deliverables, and interacting with CHCF on grant logistics. In responding to the LOI questions, please be clear about the capabilities of the respective organizations.
