General Fund & Eight Populations supports projects serving vulnerable New Yorkers in eight priority populations that fall outside other foundation programs and advance health and well-being.
Funder: Mother Cabrini Health Foundation
Due Dates (Anticipated): January 2027 (Letter of Inquiry)
Funding Amounts: Not specified
Summary: Supports projects outside the foundation’s other programs that advance the health and well-being of vulnerable New Yorkers.
Key Information: Projects must serve at least one of the foundation’s eight priority populations.
Mother Cabrini Health Foundation uses its General Fund to consider projects that advance the health and well-being of vulnerable New Yorkers but do not fit within its other programs. The fund makes room for work beyond established program categories rather than prescribing a single type of project.
Its eight priority populations are immigrants; justice-involved individuals; low-income individuals and families; older adults; people with disabilities; veterans; young children, pregnant women, and new mothers and fathers; and youth and young adults. The foundation’s broader grantmaking focuses on improving health and well-being in poor and disadvantaged communities across New York State and addressing barriers to care and the root causes of health inequity.
