| Purpose |
The Community Health Matching Program focuses on Access to Care for the Uninsured and Underinsured. The program's purpose is to encourage nonprofit community based organizations to form partnerships with health care organizations, research organizations, or governmental agencies to develop and rigorously evaluate new ways of increasing access to care for the under- and uninsured, in Michigan. Up to $50,000 per year for 2 years is available, contingent on a 25% match. |
| Eligibility |
Nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations based in Michigan are eligible.
Nonprofits do not need a firm commitment of matching support prior
to the submission of the proposal (letters from potential funding
partners are encouraged, indicating their support for the project and
interest in possible funding partnership(s)). Grants under this program
do not pay for the costs of equipment (e.g., personal computers), hardware,
or software. The BCBSM Foundation does not provide support to
for‑profit organizations or individuals associated with organizations not
located in Michigan. |

Amount of
funding |
The BCBSM Foundation will make available $1 million per year in
matching support for projects to increase and improve access to health
care for poor, uninsured and underinsured Michigan residents.
$50,000 per year, for a maximum of two years, is available from the
BCBSM Foundation to implement and evaluate proposed projects to
increase or improve access to health care for the poor and uninsured.
The Community Health Matching Program: Access to Care for the
Uninsured requires a 25 percent match of new monies from external
funding sources specifically dedicated for the proposed project. BCBSM
Foundation matching grants are contingent on confirmation that the
grantee has obtained commitment for new funds sufficient to support
the program. (A larger match may be required if the total program
budget exceeds the maximum grant plus 25% match.) In-kind
contributions are not accepted as a match. |
