Question 1

Can HealthPath meet with me to discuss organizational details and funding opportunities?

Accepted Answer

Due to limited capacity, the HealthPath team is currently unable to fulfill these requests.

Question 2

If I currently have a grant through HealthPath, can I apply for another funding opportunity?

Accepted Answer

Grantees who have a current grant through HealthPath are ineligible to apply for any additional funding opportunities until their grant term has concluded.

Question 3

Does HealthPath offer funding opportunities outside of Requests for Proposals?

Accepted Answer

Although most of HealthPath’s grants will be awarded through Requests for Proposals (RFPs), at times HealthPath may extend funding invitations to organizations. These invitations to apply are based on clear alignment with HealthPath’s areas of impact and often are a result of an emergent need in the community.

Question 4

Does HealthPath grant emergency funding requests?

Accepted Answer

HealthPath currently restricts the availability of emergency funds solely to situations classified as public health emergencies.

Question 5

Does HealthPath sponsor events?

Accepted Answer

Our grantmaking and community investments are guided by trust-based philanthropy. This means we prioritize building long-term, values-aligned relationships and making proactive investments that advance our strategic priorities and the communities we serve. Rather than funding individual events through an open request process, we work directly with partners whose work aligns with our mission and focus areas.

We recognize the important role events play in building community, visibility, and momentum, and we appreciate the care and effort that goes into organizing them. At this time, however, HealthPath is unable to consider unsolicited event sponsorship requests.

We encourage organizations to stay connected with HealthPath by following our updates on LinkedIn and signing up for HealthPath emails.

Question 6

Can my organization submit more than one application for a funding opportunity?

Accepted Answer

Eligible organizations may submit one application per funding opportunity.

Organizations affiliated with a university, hospital, or other institution with multiple departments or locations must coordinate internally, typically through a centralized office such as Operations, a Foundation, or a Grants Office to ensure a single, unified submission.

For universities, hospitals or other organizations with affiliated foundations, we respectfully request that applications be submitted through the foundation. Applications submitted outside of the institution’s foundation may not be considered.

Question 7

What is HealthPath's indirect cost rate policy?

Accepted Answer

For programmatic grants, HealthPath adopts the following tiered indirect cost rates based on organizational budget size, effective January 1, 2026.

Organizational Annual Budget				Standard Indirect Cost Rate
Under $2 Million						30%
$2 - $4 Million							25%
Over $4 Million							20%

An organization’s total funding request should be inclusive of the Indirect Cost Rate.
