NYS Health Foundation Announces Request for Proposals

The Situation Report | February 5, 2024

The New York Health Foundation (NYHealth) 2024 Special Projects Fund Request for Proposals (RFP) is now open.  

Special Projects Fund awards are one-time, nonrenewable funding opportunities where the Foundation supports projects that address important and emerging health care and public health issues that fall outside our three priority areas (Primary Care; Healthy Food, Healthy Lives; and Veterans’ Health). The Foundation seeks to partner with a wide range of organizations implementing innovative projects that can improve health at the local, regional or statewide levels. 

Grants awarded under the Special Projects Fund are one-time, nonrenewable funding opportunities. Funding will support an organization’s efforts to replicate and expand successful project models, broaden the scope of its work at a local, regional, or statewide level; deepen knowledge in the health field; improve health care practices; and/or address a timely health-related issue affecting a significant number of individuals living in New York State. 

Applicants must complete a letter of inquiry form (LOI) to determine whether a proposed project fits the funding criteria. LOIs are due on March 5, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. Selected organizations will then be invited to submit full proposals that will be due on May 9, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. 

You can review the RFP and apply at 2024 Special Projects Fund – New York Health Foundation (nyhealthfoundation.org).
