Funding Support | Telligen Community Initiative Telligen Community Initiative has a commitment to the health of our communities. We want to fund programs and nonprofits that effectively address social drivers of health. Our primary method of delivering support is through our 2026 Strengthening Families and Communities RFP.
The link is to the right and highlights our specific and desired funding interests. Introduced last year, we are continuing our funding agenda around the social derivers of health, as well as providing more predicable and longer term funding support through two-year funding award periods. This represents an exciting evolution and step our governance is proud to offer.
Proposals can seek support of up to $150,000 spread over these two-year grant period. This represents an increase in both dose and duration of TCI support to allow grant recipients greater ability to achieve sustained impact. New to our funding approach in 2026 is the introduction of a pre-application step in the grant process.
This is designed to be a more abbreviated initial application. TCI will then do reviews and invite a subset of these applicants to a second, finalist step. This should get funding decisions yielded more quickly and only have a portion of the applicant field complete the invitational funding application.
All four states will function with a single deadline of September 3, 2026. In 2025, we are also introducing a capacity building mechanism of funding support called The Capacity Investment. We are piloting this effort with the belief that a different type of support is needed – beyond our traditional project/program-based support – to allow grantees to build their organizational strength and capacity.
This funding will function with an abbreviated application, an open/rolling grant deadline that will be reviewed every two months until the funding is exhausted. At this time, this new funding stream is only open by invitation by TCI. We are viewing 2025 and 2026 as a learning period to figure out how to best deploy this in our funding future more broadly.
In addition to multi-year funding and Synergy Center support – TCI is excited to create another avenue for advancing nonprofit organizational effectiveness in an exciting way. TCI staff is happy to discuss this opportunity with those interested in learning more about its focus and potential future application.

The Telligen Community Initiative Synergy Center is a 6,800-square-foot, multi-tenant, collaborative office project. The Synergy Center brings together health-focused, nonprofit organizations sharing a modern office space and resources funded by Telligen Community Initiative. This Central Iowa-based facility supports eight nonprofits that advance social determinants of health in a myriad of creative and effective ways.
We have subsequently funded similar work in other TCI states over time that mirrors this investment to support capacity building of multiple health nonprofit collaborators in ways other than traditional project support funding.
