Programs and Grants

Through our investments in our grantees, we seek to improve the health and health care of all Americans. In 2010, RWJF awarded approximately $300 million in grants that fell within seven program areas.

We harness the power of partnerships by bringing together key players, collaborating with colleagues, and securing the sustained commitment of other funders and advocates to improve health and health care.

RWJF issues calls for proposals (CFPs) to support new projects in Public Health. Before responding to a CFP or submitting an unsolicited proposal, we suggest carefully reviewing the Public Health framing document to learn more about what we fund.
