Rural Community Health Support Program
About
The purpose of the Rural Community Health Support Program cooperative agreement is to develop, deliver, and coordinate nationally available technical assistance that supports community-based organizations and rural health stakeholders serving rural populations to improve and expand delivery and access to quality care for rural communities.
The Rural Community Health Support Program is a nationwide cooperative agreement designed to strengthen healthcare delivery in underserved rural communities across the United States. This program funds technical assistance initiatives that empower community-based organizations, rural health stakeholders, and tribal entities to improve access to quality healthcare services for rural populations. If you lead a nonprofit, faith-based organization, community-based organization, tribal organization, or qualified for-profit entity working to enhance rural healthcare, this program offers substantial support to expand your impact. The program provides funding up to $4,500,000 to develop and deliver nationally coordinated technical assistance that addresses the unique healthcare challenges rural communities face. Organizations should apply if they are committed to bridging healthcare gaps, improving service delivery models, supporting rural health infrastructure, or strengthening the capacity of rural healthcare providers and community organizations. This is an excellent opportunity for entities dedicated to rural health equity and community wellness to secure federal funding and establish themselves as leaders in rural health support across the nation.
