With the announcement of EHF's new Strategic Framework, there are some important one-time changes to grantmaking for 2024:
- Eligible grantees will receive continuation of funding for their existing grant(s) that will bridge them to the period until new strategies and tactics for funding are developed under the new framework. Your Program Officer will reach out to you to discuss specific details and answer any questions you may have.
- Any new grants in 2024 will be by invitation only. There will not be an open grant application process.
- EHF anticipates releasing its 2025 Grant Guidance in the fall of 2024. This new document will reference the new Strategic Plan and include details about the grant application process.
Grants Update
What You Need to Know
When Episcopal Health Foundation (EHF) announced our new Strategic Framework for 2024-2030, we made one-time changes to our grantmaking process for 2024.
Right now, all EHF grants are by invitation only and are largely focused on continuing support for current grantees.
What's Next
We expect to release detailed Grant Guidance in June 2025 for an open call for grant applications in the summer. Successful applicants be awarded in December 2025. Grant Guidance will include detailed information on the application process, updated funding priorities, grant cycles, and more.
Most of EHF’s grant funding in 2025 will continue to support our core Action Areas where current work exists and previous grants have been made:
Health & Health Care Services
Healthy Communities
Health Policies
However, a smaller portion of grant funding in 2025 will focus on new demonstration projects that fall within EHF’s newly-announced Priorities for Change:
Food & Nutrition Security
Maternal Health
Diabetes Prevention
How We're Getting There
We’re in the process of turning EHF’s Strategic Framework 2024 – 2030 into a finalized approach that will take effect in 2025. This effort includes refining the key objectives within the Action Areas and integrating those objectives across all aspects of EHF’s work, including research, policy, community engagement, lived experience, and direct investment through grantmaking.
EHF’s Priorities for Change work will unfold within the core Action Areas.
Questions? Email us at grants@episcopalhealth.org
We invite current grantees and other organizations interested in grant funding to explore EHF’s new Strategic Framework, including the ongoing work and Priorities for Change: food & nutrition security, maternal health, and diabetes prevention.
All are encouraged to reach out to Program Officers for any questions or to discuss areas of work outlined in the new Strategic Framework.
Igniting Change by Working Upstream
