Rural Health Grants is a grant from BCBSND Caring Foundation, administered by the Center for Rural Health at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences, that funds collaborative health and wellness projects serving rural North Dakota communities. Six to eight grants of $5,000 to $7,500 are awarded annually to rural healthcare providers. Applications are accepted each November through the UND Rural Health Grant website and must be submitted by a healthcare provider. Funded projects have included veteran peer support programs, adaptive devices for patients with mobility challenges, behavioral health services for students, and infrastructure improvements at rural hospitals and care centers. Only rural healthcare providers in North Dakota are eligible to apply.

2026 Health Innovation Grants is a program from the BCBSND Caring Foundation that funds new and expanding, replicable health initiatives in North Dakota. Six to eight grants of $15,000 to $50,000 are awarded annually through two cycles: a spring cycle with a Letter of Intent deadline of January 31 and a fall cycle with a deadline of July 31. Eligible projects include behavioral health prevention services, farm-to-school programs, recovery education, and community-based health access initiatives. The application process is competitive and two-step — organizations must first submit a Letter of Intent, then receive an invitation before submitting a full application. Grant dollars may not directly fund full-time or part-time employee positions or capital campaigns. Eligible applicants are North Dakota-based 501(c)(3) nonprofits, municipal entities such as park boards and public health departments, and school systems.
