Unsolicited Applications (letters of intent)

Most of CHCF’s grants are solicited or awarded through a competitive request for proposals. However, unsolicited letters of intent (LOIs) are also accepted by the foundation. If you are submitting an unsolicited request, please follow these instructions.

Submitting a Proposal

Full proposals should be submitted only if requested by a CHCF program staff member. Read detailed instructions and download required forms.

Program-Related Investments

CHCF’s Innovation Fund provides program-related investments to support health care technology and service companies with the potential to significantly improve quality of care, lower the cost of care, or improve access to care for Californians with low incomes. Learn about the fund.
