The Montana Healthcare Foundation’s annual Call for Proposals funds the design and piloting of innovative, Montana-grown solutions to critical health challenges. It supports planning and implementation work that addresses important health needs not met by existing community resources. Planning grants can support strategic, business, and sustainability planning; implementation grants support projects with strong business and sustainability plans.
The program emphasizes improving health, well-being, and resilience among populations at greatest risk for poor health outcomes. Projects should introduce effective interventions not currently being implemented, fit local culture and resources, engage community members, and build partnerships that use community resources more efficiently. The foundation seeks lasting benefits beyond the grant term, feasible approaches, and potential replication in other communities. Rural and frontier communities may receive preference.
