Funder priorities
Measurable reductions in avoidable ER utilization; resident-led program design; multi-year partnerships over one-off projects.
Past award recipients
2025: Westside Wellness Collab ($60K), Pilsen Care Network ($75K), Austin Health Corps ($45K). All direct-service, all under 15 staff.
Language used by the funder
"Reachable care", "trusted messengers", "upstream investment", "resident-designed". Avoid the word 'beneficiary' — they use 'neighbor'.
Program goals
Cut avoidable ER visits in target tracts 15% over five years.
Questions for the funder
Is the 10% match allowed to be fully in-kind? Can indirect exceed 10% with justification?
Information session notes
Info session 6/12: 140 attendees, ~40 awards expected. Officer stressed brevity and specific numbers over mission language.
Competitor research
Likely applicants: Pilsen Care Network (returning), two hospital-affiliated programs with bigger budgets but weaker neighborhood ties.
Relevant statistics
12-year life-expectancy gap; 28% poverty rate in target tracts; 41% above-average hypertension prevalence.

Funder priorities
Job creation and retention, business continuity, priority scoring for MBE/WBE-certified firms.
Past award recipients
Broad mix of retail, food service, and professional services across the state; average award ~$22K.
Language used by the funder
Economic terms: 'jobs retained', 'revenue stabilization', 'capital investment'. Health framing will underperform here.
Program goals
Stabilize small employers in economically distressed regions.
Questions for the funder
Do contracted CHWs count toward job retention numbers?
Information session notes
Competitor research
High application volume, but scoring rubric weights certifications heavily — that favors us.
Relevant statistics
3 FTE retained, 4 part-time roles created since 2023.
