Community Driven Change - St David's Foundation Equipping Communities to Achieve Their Health Priorities In May 2024, St. David’s Foundation launched the Community Driven Change funding opportunity, focused on elevating organizations engaging community members in decision making and leadership to foster healthier communities in Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties.

This open call was centered on the Foundation’s belief that addressing social and environmental conditions for generational change in historically marginalized communities requires those closest to the issues to help create and implement solutions. A total of 23 grants totaling $9.

1M were awarded to organizations actively listening to community and using those insights to effectively support individuals and families to achieve improvement in their health and wellness. We invite you to explore this page and learn more about the grant recipients. Funding Opportunity Overview Our region is growing and health outcomes for historically marginalized Central Texans continue to suffer because of inequitable conditions.

These ongoing health disparities cannot be addressed by only filling the healthcare gaps. St. David’s Foundation believes that addressing social and environmental conditions for generational change in historically marginalized communities requires work to mobilize those closest to the problem, and we are committed to equipping communities to achieve their health priorities .

We believe a healthy community includes access to quality healthcare and health services, stable and affordable housing, pathways to healthcare employment, navigation and coordination of related services, and social networks. We also recognize capacity building, data collection, and communication to amplify voices of communities as important elements of this work to center and engage community in decision making and leadership.
