St. David’s Foundation We All Benefit Grant

The St. David’s Foundation's "We All Benefit" open call seeks to support organizations and collaboratives actively involved in enrolling eligible Central Texans in health insurance benefits or assisting individuals and communities with the eligibility determination and enrollment process through outreach, education, or training. This initiative aligns with the foundation's mission to improve health in Central Texas, specifically by increasing access to healthcare coverage and related support services. The program is designed to address a critical need for health insurance access within the region, directly contributing to the foundation's broader goal of fostering a healthier community. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are eligible Central Texans residing in Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, or Williamson counties who need health insurance benefits or assistance with the enrollment process. The program targets individuals, communities, and organizations that either directly enroll people in health insurance or provide support in the eligibility determination and enrollment process. The impact goals are centered on enhancing health equity and access to care by ensuring more Central Texans gain health insurance coverage, thereby reducing the burden of uninsured individuals and improving overall community health outcomes. The "We All Benefit" open call prioritizes organizations or collaboratives that demonstrate a clear focus on health insurance enrollment and support services. Specifically, it seeks to fund entities that engage in outreach, education, or training related to health insurance eligibility and enrollment. The foundation has set aside up to $8 million for this initiative, offering individual organizations up to $250,000 and funding collaboratives up to $1,000,000. This tiered funding structure underscores the foundation's strategic priority of fostering both individual organizational impact and collaborative efforts to achieve a wider reach and more comprehensive solutions for healthcare access. Expected outcomes include a significant increase in the number of Central Texans enrolled in health insurance benefits and a strengthening of the support infrastructure for eligibility determination and enrollment. Measurable results will likely be tied to the number of individuals successfully enrolled, the reach of outreach and education initiatives, and the capacity building of organizations involved in this work. The foundation's theory of change appears to be that by investing in organizations that directly facilitate health insurance access, they can create a more resilient and equitable healthcare landscape for Central Texans, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes across the five-county region.
