Theme Implementation Application

Theme Implementation Grants provide funds to implement model solutions that address one or more Endowment themes.  Note: if the model solution is to address a gap in public policy, the type of grant should be Public Policy. 

Characteristics:

Grants fund any or all of the following activities:

• Developing public awareness to improve the understanding of the theme.
• Developing leadership to address the theme.
• Developing broad-based collaborations of consumers, business leaders, health providers, funders, advocates, etc. who are committed to addressing the theme.
• Implementing a model program, preferably statewide, that prevents or addresses an identified theme-related need.
• Awards are usually over $50,000 per year.
• Grants are funded over multi-year periods (usually three or more years); however at the end of a grant period, a grantee may apply for another grant to enhance a project.
• Grant proposals are only accepted from organizations that submit a Letter of Inquiry and then receive an invitation from the Endowment; not all Letters of Inquiry result in an invitation. 
• To apply, submit a Letter of Inquiry by January 15.  The Endowment responds with a letter of decline or an invitation to apply by February 15. 
• The deadline to apply for a grant is March 31.  The award date is June 30 and the grant start date is usually October 1.
