    Summary

    The Montana Healthcare Foundation makes strategic investments to improve the health and well-being of all Montanans. MHCF contributes to a measurably healthier state by supporting access to quality and affordable health services, conducting evidence-driven research and analysis, and addressing the upstream influences on health and illness.

    The Foundation will consider proposals in three areas under this call for proposals (CFP):
    • American Indian Health
    • Behavioral Health
    • Partnerships for Better Health
    This fiscal year the foundation will also be awarding grants under three focus areas:

    FOCUS: AMERICAN INDIAN HEALTH
    Projects funded through this CFP will address key health and health care challenges and will address the upstream social, economic, and educational challenges that drive health disparities. We place a priority on proposals that have a high potential for becoming financially self-sustaining. Please note that we are currently accepting two types of grant proposals: competitive grants submitted under this CFP and invited grants submitted under our American Indian Health Initiatives, which include:
    • Strengthening American Indian Health Services
    • American Indian Health Governance and Leadership Support
    • Reducing American Indian Health Disparities
    FOCUS: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
    Under this CFP, we will support collaborative, systems-based solutions to behavioral health challenges in Montana. We emphasize programs that are likely to become financially self-supporting through thirdparty revenue (for example, billing insurance), and through creating new partnerships between organizations that address behavioral health prevention and treatment needs by using existing resources more efficiently and effectively. Please note that we are currently accepting two types of grant proposals: competitive grants submitted under this CFP and invited grants submitted under our specific Behavioral Health Initiatives, which include:
    • Integrated Behavioral Health
    • Substance Use Disorder Prevention and Treatment
    • Solving Perinatal Drug and Alcohol Use
    FOCUS: PARTNERSHIPS FOR BETTER HEALTH
    Under this CFP, we will support the planning and implementation of innovative projects that demonstrate how collaboration between hospitals, community health centers, public health departments, and other community-based organizations can yield synergistic improvements in health and more efficient use of resources. This portfolio supports collaborative, systems-based solutions that make measurable improvements in health outcomes and are replicable in other Montana communities. Projects funded under this focus area will create new inter-agency partnerships designed to deliver more accessible and effective care; expand the use of care coordination; and strengthen efforts to prevent disease through addressing upstream risk factors such as poverty and poor-quality housing.
