Community Building and Systems Change Grants (Inquiry Form)
Multi-year general operating support from the health plan foundation formed by the Harvard Pilgrim and Tufts Health Plan foundations, backing equity-focused work on healthy aging, food access and behavioral health across five New England states. Two tracks: organizing, policy, advocacy and systems change affecting older adults; and community building that advances community power. General operating and capacity dollars can carry participatory research and evaluation embedded in an aging-focused organization's work.

- Amount not published (varies by call)No per-grant range is published. The Foundation states approximately $250,000 is available in the September 2026 community building cycle, likely supporting one to two grants per state. That pool figure is not a per-award amount, so both numeric fields are null.

- Community organisation, Practitioner
- Eligibility
- Applicant must be a nonprofit organization working in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire or Rhode Island. Entry is through a short eligibility quiz followed by an inquiry form rather than an open proposal; organizations with an active grant seeking renewal skip the inquiry form and contact their Foundation program officer. Universities are not the intended grantee, so an academic partner would work through an eligible community nonprofit.
