Community Health and Healthy Aging Funds, AARP Community Challenge, Health Foundation of Central Mass. The Massachusetts Community Health and Healthy Aging Funds (the Funds) is now accepting proposals for its 2026 grantmaking cycle. 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. This is a unique opportunity to invest in communities across the Commonwealth that have historically not benefitted from Determination of Need (DoN) dollars.
We especially encourage organizations led by people with lived experience to apply. Throughout the grant, HRiA will provide convenings, technical assistance, and evaluation support so awardees can build capacity, measure progress, and share lessons learned. Awards reflect the different ways organizations engage in upstream work.
Full Grants support implementation over three to five years: PSE: Up to $200,000 per year Healthy Aging: Up to $100,000 per year CHIP: Up to $375,000 total across the grant period Planning Grants are available in each stream for one to two years (up to $50,000 per year) to build capacity and move emerging approaches toward PSE change.
The application deadline is March 31, 2026, by 5pm EST, and grants are anticipated to start July 1, 2026. Learn more and access the application at www. mahealthfunds.
