Current Funding Opportunities

Thank you for your interest in exploring our current funding opportunities. We deeply value the important work that nonprofit organizations do across the communities we serve, and we wish we could support every worthy initiative. However, our funding capacity is limited, and we maintain specific focus areas to maximize our impact. Our grantmaking is focused on furthering our vision to advance equity through whole-person health across Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Utah. Details can be found under each of the areas of funding listed below.

We do not operate regular grant cycles. Instead, we invite applications based on specific strategic objectives or we occasionally announce opportunities to apply for funding through a Request for Proposals (RFP) that is open to the public.

We encourage those who are interested in seeking grant support to review information on our website, explore our funding priorities and gain an understanding of our current initiatives before reaching out for additional information. You are invited to join our email list or follow us on LinkedIn to learn about funding opportunities as they are announced.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I submit an application for grant funding?

Each funding opportunity will have its own application process and timeframe. This information is often communicated in a request for proposal (RFP) document and/or a Call for Applications . All applications are submitted through an online application system. Instructions for submitting applications will be provided for each funding opportunity.

What type of organizations are eligible to apply?

What is the Foundation's commitment to nondiscrimination, diversity and inclusion?

Cambia Health Foundation partners with organizations that value diversity and work to create an inclusive culture.

We regard a certification of nondiscrimination as one aspect of an organization’s commitment to diversity and creating a culture of inclusion. Beyond adherence to nondiscrimination policies, each organization is on their own journey of learning how best to realize these goals. Cambia Health Foundation is also committed to these practices for our organization. We value learning alongside our grantees and community partners as we consider and make our investments.
