Expanding Coverage Retrospective Report (Request for Contracted Service Proposals)
As we pass the five-year mark and the Expanding Coverage Initiative (ECI) winds down, this is an opportune time to reflect upon how the Foundation implemented its intended strategy and responded in a shifting environment. MFH is seeking proposals from qualified persons and/or firms to help us write a retrospective, overarching story of the ECI.
Opportunity Fund
We believe that the best strategies to address community health issues often come directly from our communities. Through our Opportunity Fund we’re offering the chance for visionary thinkers to tell us their best ideas with the hope of making them a reality. We aim to foster generative conversations — encouraging community members to share their hopes for a healthier region, while providing guidance and making connections that can help bring their ideas to life.
The Opportunity Fund has a rolling deadline, with applications read as they are received.
Important Note on General Support for Advocacy (GSA) Grants in 2017-2018
Started in 2004, the GSA program has provided flexible funding to strengthen health advocacy organizations and ensure grantees are able to respond to health policy issues in a timely and systemic way. Currently, the MFH Board of Directors, Community Advisory Council, and staff are reviewing the Foundation’s approach and strategies to support health advocacy and policy in Missouri.
