Grants

Investing in Health Equity

Changing health outcomes in our society won’t happen overnight, and no one organization can do it alone. Change happens through collaboration, creativity, deliberation, and bold thinking and actions. Through our grant-making, CT Health supports organizations and institutions that seek to improve the health of Connecticut residents by implementing innovative ideas, changing systems, and promoting policy change. By bringing funds and ideas together, we can make progress toward changing our health system for better outcomes in Connecticut.

As part of our investment, we fund projects, programs and initiatives that fall under our priority areas. We solicit grant proposals through Requests for Proposals (RFPs), and welcome proposals with your project ideas, as well. We also give out various small grants each year from our President’s Discretionary Grant Award.
