The Massachusetts Community Health and Healthy Aging Funds (the Funds) is now accepting proposals for the 2026 grantmaking cycle. The Healthy Aging Funds will support age-friendly efforts while advancing the objectives in ReiMAgine Aging 2030: The Massachusetts Plan.
This opportunity is designed to disrupt the root causes of inequitable health outcomes—such as structural racism, poverty, and power imbalances—by supporting Policy, Systems, and Environmental (PSE) changes. Our goal is to support approaches that move upstream from programmatic work and create lasting, community-centered change.
Massachusetts-based nonprofit organizations, municipalities, quasi-governmental groups, and coalitions may apply for the funding streams below: PSE Change supports approaches at local, regional, or statewide levels that pass or change laws and rules, retool organizational and cross‑organizational systems, shift power, and improve economic, social, or physical environments.
Community Health Improvement Planning (CHIP) invests in local or regional assessment, planning, and implementation processes that use Community Health Assessment data to set priorities, align partners, and drive measurable health improvement through PSE change.
Healthy Aging supports PSE strategies aligned with the Commonwealth’s ReiMAgine Aging 2030 plan and the WHO/AARP domains of livability, elevating upstream change that helps older adults thrive across gateway cities and rural areas. More information on the Funds are available here.
