The Duke Endowment - Health Care Grants
(Application Deadline: December 15, 2024)
The Duke Endowment believes that maintaining health over time is dependent on a person’s
ability to lead a healthy lifestyle and access essential health care services. We support reforms
that ensure an individual’s basic medical and social needs are met, so they can enjoy the best
health possible. Funding Priorities include Access to Care for Vulnerable Populations; Maternal
and Infant Health; Mental Health; Oral Health; Population Health; and Workforce Development.
Access to Care for Vulnerable Populations - Access to essential health care services is critical to
good health, yet vulnerable populations in the Carolinas face a variety of barriers. We are
interested in supporting access-expanding projects for underserved populations such as racial
minorities and rural residents. Workforce Development - Given the many efforts underway to
improve population health and reduce disparities in health outcomes, there is a need for a
community-based workforce that serves as a liaison between health care, social services, and
the community, including individuals with relevant lived experience, such as community health
workers.
