View it as a webpage [Oregon Health Authority News Release] July 1, 2025 Media contact: Jonathan Modie, PHD.Communications at oha.oregon.gov New public health equity funding opportunity opened for community-based organizations PORTLAND, Ore.?Oregon Health Authority?s Public Health Division has released a new funding opportunity for community-based organizations (CBOs). The Public Health Equity Request for Grant Applications (RFGA) opened today and will close Aug. 22, 2025, at 5 p.m. Through this RFGA, OHA seeks to improve health outcomes through increased access to health care and prevention services for all Oregonians. OHA recognizes that past and present policies, barriers in systems such as health care and housing, and lasting social and economic challenges have made it harder for some communities to be healthy and create the futures they want for themselves and their families. Differences in income, education and opportunities have led to critical and persistent health gaps. Some communities most affected by health inequities include communities of color, Tribal communities, individuals with disabilities, immigrants and refugees, undocumented populations, migrant and seasonal farmworkers, LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, faith-based communities, people living with lower incomes, older adults, rural communities, individuals without stable housing and others. OHA invites grant applications from local CBOs that aim to improve the health of Oregon communities by using the strengths, knowledge, skills, and leadership of the people they serve. The goal of this RFGA is to build strong partnerships that put community-led ideas first. Areas of funding Grants from this funding?total statewide funding amount will be determined in late fall 2025?will be flexible to allow CBOs to develop work that best addresses the needs of the community within specified program areas. OHA?s Equity Office will work with CBOs and programs within the Public Health Division to engage communities on long-term public health efforts in the following program areas, rooted in health equity: * Adolescent and School Health * Communicable Disease: Immunizations * Communicable Disease: Prevention of HIV, Sexually Transmitted Infections, and Tuberculosis * Commercial Tobacco Prevention * Community Resilience: Community Connection & Empowerment * Community Resilience: Emergency Preparedness and Response * Environmental Public Health * Lower Umatilla Basin Ground Water Management Area (LUBGWMA)/Domestic Wells * Overdose Prevention * Preventing Environmental Exposures for Children?s Health (PEECH) RFGA informational webinars OHA?s Equity Office and Public Health Division program staff will offer RFGA informational webinars and application technical assistance sessions in English and Spanish from July 2 through Aug. 5, 2025, with specific dates subject to change.
