Application Process & Timeline
The foundation operates primarily through Request for Proposals (RFPs) for its Building Capacity for Health Advocacy programme, which provides grants of up to $150,000 annually for up to five years. The 2025 grant cycle is complete, and the foundation will not run a new grant cycle in 2026.
Outside of formal RFPs, the foundation does not consider unsolicited letters of inquiry or proposals, though organisations may send a brief email to info@rxfoundation.org describing their initiative. If it aligns with current strategic priorities, the foundation will contact them regarding next steps.
The Innovation Fund is reserved for targeted initiatives developed by the Rx board and Executive Director and is not open to unsolicited proposals.
All grantmaking decisions are made by the Foundation's Board of Trustees on a rolling basis throughout the calendar year.
