VHCF grants currently are focused in four areas, each of which has

its own application criteria and process:

 Health Safety Net grants;
Children's Health Project Connect grants;
Medication Access RxRelief Virginia grants; and
Mental Health grants funded through a new initiative, A New Lease on Life: Health for Virginians with Mental Illness.

Health Safety Net Grants

Virginia Health Care Foundation health safety net grants are awarded in two cycles each year, in the spring and fall. Concept paper deadlines for consideration for funding in 2010 are:

August 4, 2010 (Fall 2010)
January 2011 (Spring 2011)

Please do not submit a Concept Paper without first carefully reviewing VHCF's requirements to determine if your organization and project are eligible for consideration. 

Step One Determine if your organization and the project you're proposing meet general eligibility requirements, and review the VHCF Grant Guidelines.
Step Two If your organization and project meet the general eligibility requirements for a VHCF grant, you will need to submit a concept paper.
Step Three If VHCF invites your organization to develop your concept further, you will need to submit a formal proposal.  (Note:  please do not submit a formal proposal if your organization has not been requested to do so.)
