St. David’s Foundation announced two new funding opportunities to support organizations engaging in fostering healthier communities and increasing access to health care in Central Texas. The Community Driven Change and We All Benefit open calls will provide one-time, unrestricted grants to eligible organizations, including previous, current, and new grantees.
Community Driven Change–this open call will seek to equip communities to achieve their health priorities by elevating organizations engaging community members in decision making and leadership to foster healthier communities in Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties in Texas. Community-led, community-focused organizations with demonstrated impact are encouraged to apply.
We All Benefit–this open call will seek to increase access to quality, responsive care by supporting organizations or collaboratives that are currently enrolling eligible Central Texans in health insurance benefits (Medicaid, CHIP, ACA) or otherwise supporting individuals, the community, or organizations in the eligibility determination and enrollment process through outreach, education, or training.
Aligned with the foundation’s 2024-2030 strategic plan, Pathways to Health Equity, the focus and goals of these one-time funding opportunities have been informed by conversations with the community and grant partners to address needs and areas of growth to advance health equity across Central Texas.
Organizations meeting funding requirements are invited to participate in a streamlined application process. Applications are due on August 9, 2024.
