Rethinking, Reimagining, Re-envisioning


For Opportunity Fund, we are looking for ideas that will create impactful and sustainable systems-level changes on significant health issues. We are interested in concepts geared toward challenging systems that create and perpetuate inequities by shifting the conditions that hold them in place.

 

Projects should address structural issues that impact health, either via social determinants of health or health care. Approaches include changes to policies, practices, resource flows, relationships, power dynamics, narratives, or mental models. We created this helpful video that further explores what we mean when we say systems change.

 

Ready to get started?

To share your idea with us, submit a brief concept paper to tell us more about it. Staff will review concept papers and then send invitations to organizations to submit full proposals if the idea fits with Opportunity Fund and aligns with our mission and values.

 

Concept papers are due October 3, 2023, by noon (CT).
