Merck has put out its 2023 Merck Regional Access to Health Grants Opportunity (please see link: Merck-Regional-Grant-Announcement-and-Guidelines.pdf) for nonprofits including school districts in your states. Any nonprofit organization within 50 miles of a U.S Merck site (map is included in the linked opportunity) is eligible to apply.

This grant program aims to expand access to quality health care via community-based solutions that reach populations that are historically underserved by the healthcare system, including but not limited to: Black, indigenous, and other people of color; people experiencing poverty; people living in rural areas; migrant populations; people with diverse gender identifies and/or sexual orientations; people living with disabilities. Proposals should include approaches that are new and innovative for the relevant community, in an effort to improve the reach and impact of community health services.

Awards range from $50,000 to $300,000 for two years and applications are due by 5pm ET on June 2, 2023.

Please send this out to anyone in your states who maybe interested in this application. I am happy to provide Technical Assistance to anyone considering applying for this grant and can be reached at dvazirani@nasn.org.
