There are two types of Bingham Program grants available:
Discretionary grants are made throughout the year on a rolling basis and awards are up to $5,000.
Program grants are made once a year and generally range from $6,000 to $25,000. Occasionally higher amounts are awarded. The application deadline for Program grants is April 1, but please check our Grant Process Guidelines page for current deadline information.
Applicants should contact Morgan Hynd (morgan@binghamprogram.org) to schedule a time to discuss projects before submitting a proposal for either type of grant.
We don’t fund: capital campaigns, direct or reimbursable services, individual scholarships or grants. We generally do not fund one-time conferences unless there is a plan for developing action after the conference that will lead to health policy or systems change.
