  • Eligibility Details

    Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations and public agencies. For-profit organizations may be funded under rare circumstances.


    RWJF awards most grants through calls or requests for proposals. They do, however, award a limited number of grants for projects that: 1) suggest new and creative approaches to solving health and health care problems; and 2) that fit squarely within our areas of focus and support our strategic objectives. To be considered for funding in this area, you must first submit review information here: https://www.rwjf.org/en/grants/active-funding-opportunities/2020/pioneering-ideas-submission.html

    Deadline Details

    Each call for proposals has its own schedule of deadlines. Please make note of these deadlines when applying and refer to the foundation's website for a list of active funding opportunities.

    Award Details

    Amounts awarded and time periods vary widely and depend on the scope of the project.

    Over the last five years, RWJF has made awards ranging from $3,000 to $23 million with time periods ranging from one month to five years. However, most grants are in the $100,000 to $300,000 range, and run from one to three years.
