Synergy Initiative - The Health Foundation of Central Massachusetts The Synergy Initiative provides funding for collaborative projects that target community identified health issues in Central Massachusetts with integrated, comprehensive strategies and an end goal of systems or policy change.
Signature components of the Synergy Initiative model include the integration of professional evaluators who work as collaborative partners throughout the project and close engagement of Foundation staff. The Health Foundation does not identify specific health issues as funding areas for the Synergy Initiative; rather, it looks to local communities to identify priority health-related needs.
Guidelines & Application Process The Synergy Initiative typically invites applications every four to five years, and approximately four projects have been selected for funding per round. The latest round of Synergy Initiative projects (Round 6) were selected in 2023, and there are no open grant opportunities at this time. For a list of projects selected for funding in previous rounds, please click here .
Selected projects generally progress from planning to pilot to full implementation over the course of four to five years, and requests for continuation grants are considered on an annual basis. Project budgets vary for each phase, and total grant amounts have averaged approximately $2 million per project over the grant period.
