Community Grants Program – Urban Indian Health Institute Community Grants Program StoryMap Our Community Grants Program supports culturally rigorous chronic disease prevention programs to enhance public health infrastructure among urban Indian populations.
“It is important for Indigenous programs to have funding that allows them to run culturally attuned programs and gather the information needed for a more equitable public health infrastructure.
” —Abigail Echo-Hawk (Pawnee), Director Every year, we award a series of subgrants to the Urban Indian Health Network (UIHN), comprised of urban Native health and human service organizations across the country and urban Indian organizations which are funded by IHS.
Funding will support the establishment of sustainable chronic disease prevention initiatives that are using culturally adapted Indigenous methods, frameworks, and evaluation approaches. These approaches are regionally tailored by environment, culture, sociodemographic composition, as well as specific healthcare and infrastructure gaps of applicant sites.
Our grant awardees operate programs which address chronic disease and promote wellness and healthy lifestyles. As everything else that is affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have also stipulated that these organizations may run their programs virtually as needed. During the 2022–2023 grant cycle, we gave out $574,425 to six urban Native organizations for chronic disease prevention.
This cycle, we have $615,310 available in funds (see below for more information). Our Community Grants Program is made possible by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.

UIHI takes a three (3)-phase holistic approach to reviewing Community Grants applications.
As an Indigenous organization our foundation is grounded in Indigenous values. The UIHI Community Grants Committee, made of at least three UIHI staff of varying expertise, is looking for a clear statement of need, cultural innovation, and community responsiveness to chronic disease prevention.
The first phase is pre-screening where we review each applicant’s information to ensure the applying UIO and AI/AN urban serving non-profit organizations meet base eligibility requirements (see below). In the second phase, the committee conducts an in-depth review of applicant project narratives and annual budgets and workplans.
Finally, UIHI conducts a thorough technical review of all eligible applications and budgets to ask clarifying questions, request additional information or small changes, and/or offer recommendations. We review applications based on the fundamental assumption that applicants are the experts and are therefore most familiar with their community needs and solutions.
Some factors UIHI considers are: Geographic diversity: We want to have a broad reach across the United States. Program innovation: We like to see your program’s creativity and uniqueness. Dream big.
Think about what is possible. Age/Generational: Does your program or organization serve a wide range of age groups? Collaboration: Is your organization committed to collaboration, partnerships, and/or networking to advance urban Indian health and well-being?
Budget and work plan: How well is budget in alignment with scope of work and work plan? In our third and final phase, the committee and UIHI leadership meet to conduct Consensus-Based Decision-Making. All committee members and leadership members must agree on the organizations to be funded.
No decisions are made lightly and without the approval of UIHI leadership. After selection, all applicants receive technical reviews for their applications. Meet Our 2020–2021 Grantees!
