Note that the application process outlined in the RFP is slightly different than the Endowment has used in the past and the one currently specified elsewhere on the Endowment Web site.

Change in Funding Cycle

The Endowment funds projects that fall into three portfolios: Access to Health Care; Physical Health; and Social, Emotional and Behavioral Health. To enhance the Endowment's ability to judge proposals in the context of others in the same area of interest, to increase opportunities to coordinate grant ideas from different agencies and to help us capitalize on the lessons we have learned from funded programs, we now consider proposals quarterly by portfolio. Here is the 2007 schedule:

Endowment staff welcome conversations throughout the year about potential proposals in any portfolio. Discussions with us help you prepare a letter of interest. Please contact us at any time of year to talk about your ideas for helping Wake County children and youth receive needed healthcare services.
