Health & public health grant FAQ
What is a health or public health grant?
A health grant is funding awarded to deliver or expand health services and public health programs — behavioral and mental health care, substance use prevention and treatment, community and primary care, health-disparity and health-equity work, and disease prevention. The largest federal sources are HRSA (the Health Resources and Services Administration, which funds health centers and the safety net), SAMHSA (mental health and substance use), and the CDC (public health), alongside state and county health departments and private foundations.
Who can apply for health funding?
Most health grants are open to Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and look-alikes, community mental health and substance use treatment providers, clinics and primary care associations, county and local health departments, hospitals and health systems, and 501(c)(3) health nonprofits. Some programs are competitive and open directly to providers; others flow as formula or block grants to state and county health departments that re-grant the funds. Eligibility and application windows are set by each program.
What can health grants pay for?
Eligible uses include clinical and care-coordination staffing, behavioral health and substance use treatment services, community and preventive health programs, screening and immunization, health-equity and outreach work, equipment and capacity building, and program operations. HRSA grants commonly fund health center services and the safety net; SAMHSA funds mental health and substance use programs; CDC funds public health and prevention. Each program sets its own allowable costs.
When are health grant applications due?
Federal HRSA, SAMHSA, and CDC programs run on their own notice-of-funding cycles, while state and county health-department and foundation grants have their own windows. Browse the open opportunities below for current deadlines, or run your organization's profile through FindGrants to see the health grants you qualify for right now.
New to health funding?
Start with HRSA — the agency behind health centers and the safety net, and the most common entry point for FQHCs, clinics, and health nonprofits. Learn who qualifies, the grant types, what the funds can pay for, and how to put together a competitive application.
