Endowment for Health

• Endowment for Health funds work tackling the root causes of health disparities in New Hampshire, with themes covering children's behavioural health, healthy ageing, early childhood, the health care workforce, health equity and health policy, so your project should sit within one of these areas and serve New Hampshire.
• For a general grant, a request broadly within its typical $7,500–$185,000 range is realistic, though the median grant was $30,000, so a modest ask fits most applicants; its Opportunity Grants, aimed at urgent or emerging needs, run smaller still, from $1,000 to $20,000, and are submitted by the last day of each month through the Applicant Portal.
• Three-quarters of its grant dollars went to organisations it had already funded in the previous two filings, so building a relationship over time, perhaps starting with a smaller Opportunity Grant, may help.
• Opportunity Grants specifically exclude grants to individuals, out-of-state projects, ongoing operating expenses, equipment purchases, event or conference sponsorships, capital campaigns and fundraising events, lobbying, expenses already incurred, replacement of public funding, sectarian or religious programmes, and political activities, so applicants seeking funds for these should not apply under that programme.
