Special Projects Fund - New York Health Foundation [popupwfancybox group="GROUP1"] Community health needs shift and evolve as new health issues arise, whether it is a global pandemic, policy changes, or an emerging health challenge.
The Special Projects Fund provides adaptability and flexibility to support projects that respond to changing variables, enabling NYHealth to engage in timely and impactful grantmaking that seeks to improve the health of all New Yorkers. The Special Projects Fund supports organizations and timely, evidence-based projects that address important and emerging health challenges and respond to the current moment.
By issuing responsive grants and investing in new and innovative health approaches, the Fund supports a wide range of organizations to help improve health at the organizational, community, or statewide level.
The Fund focuses on several key elements when issuing grants: Projects that identify gaps in health systems or care delivery that disproportionately affect marginalized populations; Projects that respond to time-sensitive and emerging challenges; Projects that support and strengthen community-informed solutions to public health issues; Projects that coordinate interventions that could improve the efficiency or effectiveness of local or statewide health systems; Projects that improve quality of care in sustained and measurable ways; and Projects that extend beyond NYHealth’s current funding priority areas (Primary Care; Healthy Food, Healthy Lives; and Veterans’ Health).
