The Hortense & Louis Rubin Community Health Fund
Funding Priorities
The Hortense and Louis Rubin Community Health Fund envisions healthy individuals, families, and communities with reduced incidence and prevalence of chronic kidney disease and related risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension in the Greater Capital Region via:
- Healthy Habits and Lifestyles: such as better nutrition, regular physical activity, tobacco cessation, more sleep, less stress.
- Strengthening Health Equity for the most vulnerable communities, such as Black and Latino/x communities, urban and rural communities via sustainable and functioning food systems, greater access to quality health care that works for all, and secure access to essential community needs (housing, transportation, food, etc.)
Eligibility
In addition, the goal of the Rubin Community Health Fund committee is to meet people where they are. That includes grantmaking to organizations providing services to members of our community who are afflicted with chronic kidney disease. With this in mind, applications that focus on home dialysis will be given special consideration.
Grant Size and Duration
Organizations can apply for up to $150,000 annually. Organizations may apply for multi-year funding; funding will not exceed three years.
