Through this funding opportunity, we seek to advance community-driven health priorities by investing in existing community-led networks and organizations across Central Texas that are supporting resident leadership in communities facing the greatest health challenges. This effort will ensure residents have the resources, influence, and power to improve health in ways that reflect their community’s priorities and act collectively on shared issues that support civic health. We also seek to support a coordinated and connected ecosystem, or “network of networks” required for sustained, community-driven impact in health and well-being.

• Operate in one or more of the following Central Texas counties: Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, or Williamson.
• Demonstrate track record of resident organizing and leadership development to achieve meaningful, community-driven improvements to health and well-being. 
• Be a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (with a valid determination letter at the time of LOI Submission), a public or government entity (county, municipality, public health department, public university, public school), religious organization, or use a fiscal sponsor. 
• Have an annual operating budget of at least $150,000.
