Nonmedical Drivers of Health Grant 

Through the Nonmedical Drivers of Health Grant, nonprofit organizations can apply for support focused on one of two grant priority pillars: Healthy Neighborhoods or Education & Economic Empowerment. This funding is programmatic support for services provided to the Greater Houston area. Applicants must clearly describe how the funding will impact the community and must be able to track unique individuals served and program outcomes. 

Healthy Neighborhoods Grants

Houston Methodist defines healthy neighborhoods grants as initiatives designed to address the most urgent nonmedical drivers of health within our communities. These drivers of health are identified through the Houston Methodist Community Health Needs Assessment as the areas that are creating barriers to positive health outcomes, but also have significant resource gaps within the greater Houston community. They include food insecurity and access to healthy food, utilities, housing, social connectivity, and transportation.

Education & Economic Empowerment Grants

Houston Methodist’s Education and Economic Empowerment grants include direct services programs that are designed to increase economic mobility. Poverty is one of the biggest upstream nonmedical drivers of health outcomes, and an individual’s ability to reach economic goals and secure livable wage jobs increases the chances that their family will have access to healthcare and positive health outcomes. Under this priority pillar, ideal programs for funding include programs that empower community members to achieve education and employment goals that will lead to better paying jobs, long term career pathways, and greater economic mobility.

• Job certification programs
• Job readiness
• Asset building programs
• Upskilling programs
• Financial education and financial literacy
• Small Business Programs
