What are grants and contributions? ESDC mainly provides funding through grants and contributions also known as transfer payments. Grants are payments made to an individual or organization based on eligibility and entitlement criteria.
In most cases, recipients are not required to account for how the grant is used and the department will not subject them to an audit; however, there can be exceptions depending on program requirements. As a recipient, you may be required to report on the results achieved with the grant.
Contributions are similar to grants, but instead of a payment, an organization gets reimbursed for specific costs if they meet eligibility criteria and specific conditions. As a recipient, you have to account for how the contribution is used. ESDC can examine how the funds have been used throughout the duration of a project and you could also be subject to an audit.
What are funding processes? To issue grants or contributions, ESDC programs use different funding processes to receive funding applications. A call for proposals is an open, formal, and planned process with a specific start and end date.
It is used to identify eligible applicants interested in achieving program objectives and expected outcomes. Applicants submit a complete, costed application for funding consideration. The focus is on the eligibility and viability of the project activities and the eligibility and capacity of the applicant organization to manage the project appropriately according to the program terms and conditions.
A call for concept is a formal process used to identify eligible applicants interested in achieving program objectives and expected outcomes. Applicants submit a concept paper based on the parameters of the call for concept. The focus is on the eligibility of the project “idea” rather than a fully detailed project proposal, while taking into account the organization as well.
Following the assessment process, ESDC may invite successful applicants to submit a full proposal. An expression of interest (EOI) is a formal process where applicants express their interest in program funding to achieve ESDC's policy priorities, program objectives and expected outcomes. The focus is on the eligibility of the organization (based on program-specific assessment criteria) rather than on a project “idea”.
Following the screening process, ESDC may invite successful EOI applicants to submit a concept paper or a proposal. Continuous intake is a process where ESDC funding is available to the public for a specific program on a long-term basis. This process has no specific deadline for the submission of applications, so applicants can apply for funding at any time.
Assessment of applications is based on program-specific assessment criteria, objectives and expected results as well as budget availability. A program may solicit specific organizations to submit an application for consideration following a call for concepts, an expression of interest, or when an unanticipated situation arises requiring a rapid response.
This process can be used when ESDC has significant knowledge on the limited pool of organizations that could deliver expected results.

The Elevance Health Foundation's FY2026 Maternal/Infant Health cycle offers grants around $1 million (1–3 years, 15% indirects) to reduce pre-term birth and severe maternal morbidity.
