    About National Network of Public Health Institutes

Grants are overwhelmingly program implementation awards to operational public health entities rather than one-off charitable projects.

    Who They Fund

    unspecified

    Giving Approach

    Concentrated, programmatic funding: multiple mid-to-large grants to repeat core grantees (state/regional public health institutes and university partners) across many states, with a clear emphasis on sustained program implementation and capacity-building rather than one-time small gifts.

    Funding Style

    direct service / program deliveryproject-based / short-term implementation fundingrestricted / program-specific supportcapacity-for-operations (implementation staffing and resources)

    Notable grantees: Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI), University of Washington, Health Resources in Action (HRIA), Public Health Institute (PHI), Inter‑Tribal Council of Michigan

    How National Network of Public Health Institutes Gives

    Typical grant size falls at $17,434 at the 25th percentile, $59,938 at the median, and $200,940 at the 75th percentile. The recent grants list shows a wide spread from smaller capacity-building awards to multi-million-dollar program implementation grants. Several grantees appear across multiple years, including Michigan Public Health Institute, University of Washington, Public Health Management Corporation, Health Resources in Action, Trailhead Institute, Texas Health Institute, and Inter-Tribal Council of Michigan Inc. The funder is a regular funder, not a DAF, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. The active programs listed are invitation-only or member-specific in most cases, with some open solicitations tied to specific RFPs or training opportunities.

    Where National Network of Public Health Institutes Makes Grants

    Grant activity is national, with recipients in 200 U.S. grants and one grant outside the U.S. Colorado is the top state by grant count, and the recent grants list includes Denver-based Trailhead Institute. Other frequent recipient locations include Seattle, Boston, Philadelphia, Austin, and Okemos. Louisiana appears in the grant list through New Orleans-based Louisiana Public Health Institute, but only 1% of grants go to recipients in Louisiana, so the foundation’s giving is not concentrated in its headquarters state.
