Funding Information
The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA) Foundation provides a limited number of non-renewable one-year grants of up to $50,000 through its Special Initiatives grant program.
Key activities may include
- An innovative pilot or demonstration project that responds to health and health-related needs of the community, that if successful, could be replicated and scaled.
- An evaluation, assessment, or measurement initiative that advances knowledge about a health or health care issue aligned with the Foundation’s strategic focus areas and mission and could position an organization to improve practice internally, and to the extent possible, could be shared and disseminated to advance knowledge, practice, or policy.
Eligible Applicants
In reviewing proposals for Special Initiatives grants, the Foundation will only consider those organizations that primarily serve people who have been socially, economically, culturally, or racially marginalized. The Foundation will prioritize applications from organizations led by people of color. The Foundation aims to support as many organizations as possible; therefore, preference is given to organizations that they have not recently funded.
