Description
The Community Impact Grant Program, administered by the Wisconsin Partnership Program at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, funds community-led initiatives that address social determinants of health with the goal of advancing health equity in Wisconsin’s urban and rural communities. The program prioritizes projects demonstrating substantial and authentic community leadership, sustainability, and rigorous evaluation. Proposals must be informed and implemented by those most affected by health inequities, targeting root causes such as economic stability, access to healthcare, education, and neighborhood environment. The initiative aims to improve health outcomes for populations disproportionately impacted by structural inequities.
