How We Fund

Learn about our funding processes & eligibility:

REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS

Each RFP we issue provides details on funding priorities, anticipated outcomes, and the review process. Funding is awarded to applicants whose proposals best align with HealthPath's mission and vision while meeting the specified RFP requirements.

BY
INVITATION

At times, we 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. These funding opportunities are identified through community engagement.

COLLABORATIVE
FUNDING PARTNERS

HealthPath is proud to collaborate with other funders to accelerate the impact of our resources through our valued and beneficial partnerships.    

HealthPath’s funding is intentionally flexible. While our focus areas are broad, we are committed to resourcing opportunities that sit at the intersection of priority populations, core focus areas, and impact levers. This enables our funding decisions to align with community-defined needs while maintaining flexibility to refine priorities on an annual or grant cycle basis.
