Pregnancy, infants, and children up to age 8

We invest in behavioral health access for young children and their caregivers across Idaho, Oregon, Utah or Washington.

Our priorities in 2026


The Resilient Children and Families program has two priorities where we will focus our grantmaking in 2026:
 
  • Advance community informed, integrated primary care models for pregnant and postpartum individuals that address the physical, behavioral, and social needs of patients, with particular emphasis on behavioral health and substance use screening and supports. (Invitation only)
  • Increase access to school-based whole-person health models with a strong behavioral health component; prioritize models focused on prevention and early intervention in partnership with parents and caregivers. (A Request for Proposals is anticipated to be released in September 2026, subject to change.)  
To be eligible for consideration for grant funding, proposals need to align with at least one of the above two priorities. We do not accept unsolicited proposals. If you would like to share more about the work your organization does in our four-state region and how it aligns with our 2026 priorities, please use the Contact Us option.
