Manage a Grant

The Endowment for Health is considered a highly engaged foundation.  This means that after your grant is awarded, our Program Directors and Grants Manager continue to regularly interact with you to help you achieve the outcomes of your project.

This interaction starts shortly after you receive your grant award letter which includes the proposed Terms of Award.  Your Program Director will clarify terms and adjudicate any outstanding issues prior to your signing the Terms of Award.

As part of the Endowment’s stewardship of its funds and in the spirit of creating knowledge statewide, our relationship with grantees is a two-way street.  We ask that you provide regular progress reports on your work and that you evaluate the outcomes of your project upon completion.  The Endowment uses this knowledge from each grantee to get a cumulative picture of our grantmaking work, especially relative to our themes.  We use this information to measure outcomes that lead to systemic change.

From time to time, we ask grantees to share the outcomes of their work with our Board of Directors and Advisory Council as well as at events such as our annual Program Workshop.

Throughout the entire grant period, our Program Team is available for technical assistance to help your project succeed.

In this section of our Grant Center, you’ll find information about the key milestones and deliverables expected once your grant is awarded.

Information in this section includes the process for progress reporting and evaluation as well as the approaches used for communications and dissemination.

Finally, project sustainability is discussed because the Endowment for Health wants to see your work live on long after our involvement in your project ends.
