Purpose This grant opportunity extends Kresge’s long history of awarding challenge grants to organizations conducting capital campaigns for new building construction and facility renovation. In addition to facilities-capital challenge grants, they are increasing their investment in community-based health centers through a variety of funding methods, including program-related investments or below market rate loans.

Eligibility Clinics that are expanding and/or improving their physical infrastructure in order to increase accessibility, availability, and the quality of services provided to disadvantaged, uninsured and under-insured populations are typically competitive applicants. Anchor organizations that assume a leadership role in facilitating meaningful and relevant community change by strengthening the safety-net or improving their ability to respond to priority community health issues are encouraged to apply. Consideration also is given to projects that are environmentally sustainable and adopt the Green Guide to Health Care.
