Nonprofit Health Grants Crucial to Underserved Communities
Nonprofit Health Grants are crucial for underserved communities. Access to healthcare isn’t just a one time crisis, it’s a daily struggle for many underserved families. Studies show that the lack of quality health insurance in these communities directly impacts quality of life. Too often, families must choose between paying rent or affording life-saving prescriptions. What’s more, the financial strain doesn’t stop there. The increased burden on these communities also drives up government costs. Nonprofit health grants help bridge the gap, providing essential funding to improve access and outcomes.
GrantWatch wants to help address this crisis by providing a list of nonprofit health grants currently available to minimize this financial burden for individuals and families, as well as the underserved communities directly affected. GrantWatch also has over 7,000 grants in its Grants for Nonprofits grant listing category, as well as close to 2,600 grants in its Health and Medical grant listing category.
“The economic cost that the government has to pay for caring for uninsured people treated in emergency rooms or urgent care facilities in place of primary care doctors’ offices is substantial. These costs occur because uninsured individuals often have limited income or resources and cannot afford healthcare...Nationally, at least $33.6 billion in public funds were paid to providers to help defray providers’ uncompensated care costs associated with caring for the uninsured in 2017.“ (Kaiser Family Foundation)
