The Maine Health Access Foundation is the state’s largest private nonprofit health care foundation dedicated to promoting access to quality health care and improving health.
Many of our current programs focus on building the capacity of community-led organizations to create health outcomes that are more equitable for every person in Maine. Past and current grantees have helped to improve systems to address critical health needs, coverage, and access to quality care.
Funding Opportunities & More
The Application Process for MeHAF's 2025 Health Equity Capacity Building Program is Now Open
Organizations that will be considered for funding must be: (1) led by and serving communities that are systematically excluded from resources, including BIPOC, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ people, and people experiencing homelessness, and (2) working to advance health equity for their communities. Applicants selected for funding will be paired with an organization from the current grantee cohort that will help with orientation to the program and serve as a connection point with the other grantees.
