See if your organization fits the criteria for Elea Institute's next grantmaking cycle.
Elea Institute supports organizations working to expand access to hospice and palliative care through two grantmaking cycles each year.
Elea Institute has transitioned to a new online grants management system, which will be used going forward for applications, acknowledgements, reporting, and reminders. If you've applied before, we recommend logging into the old application system and saving copies of your past applications and supporting materials before mid-October, when historical records will begin migrating to the new portal. Your data will not be lost, but it won't be accessible during the transition period.
The National Grant Program invites organizations from across the United States to apply for funding in support of four focus areas: improving access to quality care for underserved populations, advancing research and clinical education, increasing public awareness of end-of-life care options, and addressing unmet needs through innovative and emerging solutions.
The National RFP is typically released in March.
