The Center for Health Equity makes grants available to a diverse group of applicants including community based organizations, non-profit organizations, and academic researchers. The intended outcome of these community grants is a set of policy recommendations that will make a significant and meaningful improvement in a neighborhood and in the lives of its residents. The grants are meant to demonstrate the use of civic capacity building to address the social and economic macro-level policy issues that impact population health outcomes.   

The Center seeks to support community-based organizations that use civic capacity building efforts to engage communities in the policy process through advocacy activities that raise awareness of issues and educate policy makers.
