Health advocacy collaboration concept.
In an effort to strengthen policy and advocacy organizations in Western North Carolina – and to ensure better representation of WNC voices in state-level policy conversations – Dogwood Health Trust has announced a new request for proposals (RFP) from nonprofit organizations working on policy issues that align with Dogwood’s Strategic Priorities. Nonprofit organizations interested in advocacy within the Qualla Boundary and Dogwood’s 18-county service region or increasing the representation of WNC issues on a statewide level may apply for two-year grants ranging from $50,000 to $250,000. Dogwood is interested in funding both local organizations as well as statewide organizations.
With this RFP, Dogwood is seeking to fund organizations engaging in a range of advocacy activities including:
As a private foundation, Dogwood Health Trust is not permitted to fund lobbying efforts.
The Policy and Advocacy application will be available on April 1, 2024, with responses due by 5:00 p.m. ET on April 26, 2024. Award notifications will be made by July 2024, with funds distributed in September 2024. Organizations interested in learning more are encouraged to attend a virtual information session webinar on Monday, March 25 at 12 p.m., ET.
