Empowering Our Communities
The Nonmedical Drivers of Health grant program focuses on health equity for all by supporting community programs that address nonmedical barriers to health care and positive health outcomes. The grant has three priority pillars: Healthy Neighborhoods, Educational Empowerment and Economic Empowerment.
Healthy Neighborhoods
Educational Empowerment
The Educational Empowerment pillar supports both K-12 educational support programs and mentorship, as well as adult education programming that helps community members further their education, obtain a degree or achieve language or literacy goals.
Economic Empowerment
Lack of access to economic mobility contributes to poorer health outcomes. The Economic Empowerment pillar helps to close economic gaps by encouraging nonprofits to apply for programs that focus on cultivating economic empowerment across our region.
The 2025 Grant Cycle Letter of Intent portal is closed. New grant opportunities open each year in the late Fall. For questions about the next grant cycle, please contact grants@houstonmethodist.org.
