Details:
Nimble Grants are focused on infrastructure improvements or small projects that help agencies carry out the PHPDA’s mission of improving health care access and outcomes for underserved populations.
Goals
The Health Equity Fund accomplishes the grantmaking mission through these strategic goals:
- Access to health resources: The Health Equity Fund focuses its grantmaking on improving access to a broad range of health resources, not limited to medical care access alone, and including primary and specialty care, preventive health care, behavioral health (such as mental health and substance use treatment) and oral health care.
- Improvement in health outcomes: PHPDA focuses on improving the capability of the healthcare system by supporting resources that link and coordinate health services for underserved communities/populations.
Funding Priorities
The Health Equity Fund has established the following overall funding priorities, for projects that focus on:
- Improving health outcomes and access for communities of color, particularly focused on programs for African American, Latinx, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Pacific Islander communities.
- Improving health outcomes and access for geographically-underserved areas of King County, such as South King County and rural King County.
- Addressing cultural, linguistic, economic, technological, and other access barriers to successful utilization of medical and other health services, including barriers faced by refugee and new immigrant communities.
- Actively addressing the issues of systemic, structural, and institutional racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, income inequality, and other forms of oppression or discrimination that negatively impact healthcare delivery and health outcomes.
- Enhancing the impact of addressing health disparities by partnering or collaborating with other organizations.
- Building capacity and empowerment for communities addressing health disparities.
Funding Information
- A total of $400,000 is available in funding for the 2024 calendar year and agencies can apply for up to $30,000 per Nimble Grant cycle.
- Nimble Grants are intended to fund projects or discrete portions of projects that are expected to be completed within the one-year grant term.
Uses of funds
Funds awarded under this process may be used for the following purposes:
- Short term, time-limited projects
- Infrastructure and capacity development
- Planning
- Technology improvement
- Training, including internal staff training and external community trainings/educational events
- Policy and advocacy work
Funding may be used as a bridge to support staff salaries during the project year only if there is a clear plan for ongoing future funding.
Eligibility Criteria
- Nonprofit, government, and public organizations may apply. If you do not have nonprofit status, you may be eligible to apply under a fiscal sponsor.
- Funding for service delivery is limited to King County. There are no geographic restrictions on the residence of clients served or advocacy efforts, as long as the program can demonstrate the use of funds addressing disparities in health among residents of the Puget Sound region (King, Snohomish, Pierce, and Kitsap counties).
- Organizations may not receive two PHPDA grants in the same year for the same project and cannot receive two Nimble Grants for the same project. If a program is currently funded by the PHPDA, Nimble Grants cannot be used to augment that funding. If a program has already received Nimble funding in the past, that same program is not eligible for additional funding. Agencies may request Nimble Funds under a different project.
