Health Grants for Nonprofits: How to Secure Funding for Community Wellness

Nonprofits are often the front line in addressing community health needs, yet many struggle to access the resources required to grow or sustain their impact. Health grants for nonprofits offer a critical opportunity to expand services, reach more people, and improve outcomes across communities.

At ERI Grants, we specialize in helping nonprofits secure these vital funds through our contingency-based model. That means we only get paid if you win your grant. It is a risk-free way to access expert help and move your mission forward.

Why Health Grants for Nonprofits Matter

Health grants for nonprofits allow organizations to close service gaps in communities often overlooked by traditional systems. Whether it is providing behavioral support in schools or launching mobile clinics in rural towns, these grants help ensure vulnerable populations receive the care they need.

Our clients include nonprofits that serve low-income families, veterans, the homeless, and at-risk youth. We understand the urgency of your mission. Health grants provide the structure and support to deliver that mission with consistency, scale, and measurable outcomes.

At ERI, we have seen firsthand how a single grant can transform an organization’s ability to serve. That is why we have spent over two decades focused on helping nonprofits like yours grow their impact.

Types of Health Grants Available for Nonprofits

Mental Health and Wellness

Mental health grants often support services such as therapy, group counseling, trauma-informed care, and youth-focused programs. Nonprofits working in schools can apply for grants that fund social emotional learning strategies or hire mental health professionals. ERI helps organizations develop strong applications that demonstrate need, outline program goals, and align with funder priorities.

Substance Use Prevention and Recovery

Grants in this area address the growing crisis of substance use across communities. Funding may cover education campaigns, recovery services, peer support programs, and outreach to high-risk populations. ERI works with clients to position their proposals as part of a broader recovery ecosystem. We also help track program outcomes to ensure continued funding.

Health Education and Prevention

Preventative care is a major focus for many foundations and government agencies. These grants can support workshops on nutrition, chronic disease prevention, maternal health, and more. Nonprofits can also fund educational materials, staff training, and screening services. We help you communicate how education drives health equity and reduces long-term system costs.

Mobile and Telehealth Services

For rural or underserved communities, mobile and digital care can be life-changing. Health grants can fund telehealth platforms, vans for mobile clinics, remote diagnostic tools, and connectivity infrastructure. ERI crafts proposals that show how mobile solutions improve access and reduce barriers for populations with limited transportation or local services.

Services for Special Populations

Many grants are tailored to support high-need populations such as veterans, the homeless, migrant workers, and children in foster care. These programs often address mental health, chronic illness, addiction, and housing insecurity. We help you highlight your target audience and show how your work responds to community-specific health challenges.

How to Position Your Nonprofit for Health Grant Success

Define Your Program’s Goals Clearly

Funders want to know exactly what you will do with their support. Be specific about your program’s objectives, who it will serve, and how you will measure success. A vague proposal will not stand out in a competitive field.

Demonstrate Community Need with Data

Use local data, stories, and research to show that your target audience is underserved. This is especially important when addressing complex health issues like mental illness or substance use. ERI helps gather and present this data in compelling, funder-friendly formats.

Build Strategic Partnerships

Collaboration makes a proposal stronger. Whether you are working with schools, hospitals, or other nonprofits, funders appreciate partnerships that improve efficiency and increase impact. ERI can help you identify partners and articulate the value of shared work.

Prepare for Program Evaluation Early

Many health funders want to know how you will track outcomes. ERI’s program evaluation services are designed to support this need from the start. We help you plan for data collection, reporting, and improvement strategies that keep funders engaged long after the first award.

The ERI Approach to Health Grant Success
