Funding is available to support initiatives that aim to improve well-being in select communities within a southern region of the U.S. The opportunity is open to nonprofit organizations with a focus on health-related efforts. While the exact areas served are specific, they are primarily rural and underserved. This funding is not available to individuals or businesses and is intended for organizations working on programs that have a clear benefit to community health.
Grant amounts generally range from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars. Projects of varying sizes may qualify, with some preference for collaborative efforts involving more than one group. However, single organizations with a strong plan for impact may also be considered. Funding can support a broad mix of activities such as outreach, education, services, and program expansion, especially those tied to improving quality of life and addressing health-related challenges.
Programs that focus on prevention, education, and access to care are often viewed favorably. Requests may include support for personnel, program operations, or infrastructure needs, and in some cases, matching contributions from other sources may be beneficial. Multi-year efforts may be eligible depending on the scope and sustainability of the project.
Application periods occur twice per year, and interested organizations typically begin the process by submitting an initial inquiry. Those invited to continue are asked to provide more detailed proposals, with funding decisions made a few months later.
This opportunity is designed for groups that are deeply rooted in their communities and committed to addressing long-term health needs. The goal is to support practical, measurable improvements through programs that align with broader wellness priorities and are tailored to meet local needs.
