- Improved health and quality of life
- Access to high quality educational options to promote increased academic achievement
- Arts and sciences serving as a cornerstone of society
- Sustainable employment and productive career paths for adults
- Stabilizing and supporting families
Funding Priorities
The Hearst Foundations support well-established nonprofit organizations that address significant issues within their major areas of interests – culture, education, health and social service – and that primarily serve large demographic and/or geographic constituencies. In each area of funding, the Foundations seek to identify those organizations achieving truly differentiated results relative to other organizations making similar efforts for similar populations. The Foundations also look for evidence of sustainability beyond their support.
Culture
The Hearst Foundations fund cultural institutions that offer meaningful programs in the arts and sciences, prioritizing those which enable engagement by young people and create a lasting and measurable impact. The Foundations also fund select programs nurturing and developing artistic talent.
Types of Support: Program, capital and, on a limited basis, general and endowment support

The Foundations’ focus is largely on higher education, but they also fund innovative models of early childhood and K-12 education, as well as professional development.
Types of Support: Program, scholarship, capital and, on a limited basis, general and endowment support
Health
The Hearst Foundations assist leading regional hospitals, medical centers and specialized medical institutions providing access to high-quality healthcare for low-income populations. In response to the shortage of healthcare professionals necessary to meet the country’s evolving needs, the Foundations also fund programs designed to enhance skills and increase the number of practitioners and educators across roles in healthcare. Because the Foundations seek to use their funds to create a broad and enduring impact on the nation’s health, support for medical research and the development of young investigators is also considered.
Types of Support: Program, capital and, on a limited basis, endowment support
Social Service
The Hearst Foundations fund direct-service organizations that tackle the roots of chronic poverty by applying effective solutions to the most challenging social and economic problems. The Foundations prioritize supporting programs that have proven successful in facilitating economic independence and in strengthening families.

Health Care Workforce RFP - Implementation Grant
Cambia Health Foundation
NOTE: Here are the pages for the Research and Development Grant and the Planning Grant.
About Us
Cambia Health Foundation is the corporate foundation of Cambia Health Solutions, which is dedicated to making the health care experience simpler, better and more affordable for people and families. Founded in 2007, the foundation has funded over $110 million in grants to advance whole-person health models at every stage of life. We make purposeful philanthropic investments in solutions that reduce disparities, eliminate systemic barriers, and result in better health care experiences and outcomes for everyone.
Health Care Workforce
Strengthening the health care workforce, particularly in behavioral health, is key to advancing whole-person care. The pandemic and other challenges continue to put excessive strain on both paid professionals and unpaid caregivers, which exacerbate gaps in care access. There is an urgent need to address and invest in the behavioral health workforce to close these gaps.
Since its launch in 2022, our Health Care Workforce program has focused on removing barriers that contribute to workforce shortages. We invest in solutions that address the root causes of workforce shortages as well as innovative solutions that expand access, such as training providers in integrated and collaborative care models.
Our Workforce Strategy
Health care studies show people generally have better outcomes and experiences when care is provided by more diverse teams. And yet, data hows that a severe lack of diversity exists in the health care workforce. We are committed to partnering with organizations that prioritize centering racial and other diversity strategies to:
Expand
Create opportunities to expand workforce capacity through innovative strategies to recruit new providers into the behavioral health workforce.
Support
Implement activities that address the root causes of burnout, vicarious trauma and overall reduced longevity of current health care providers, including career enrichment and advancement opportunities.
Train
Advance whole-person integrated and collaborative care models to provide primary and preventive care through training and development for a wide range of clinical and nonclinical providers.
By expanding, supporting, training and diversifying the health care workforce, we seek long-term and sustainable impact in the following areas:
- Reducing behavioral health provider shortages in our region
- Increasing the number of providers trained and supported in whole-person integrated and collaborative models of care
- Increasing diversity of the health care workforce with a focus on behavioral health care
- Reducing rates of and disparities in health care workforce anxiety, depression, tobacco use, obesity and hypertension
- Reducing rates of and disparities in unpaid caregiver anxiety, depression, tobacco use, obesity and hypertension
Implementation Grant
A grant that seeks to address a documented workforce issue that is ready to scale, replicate proven strategies within the same community context or maintain current services

Overview:
NOTE: Here are the pages for the Research and Development Grant and the Planning Grant.
About Us
Cambia Health Foundation is the corporate foundation of Cambia Health Solutions, which is dedicated to making the health care experience simpler, better and more affordable for people and families. Founded in 2007, the foundation has funded over $110 million in grants to advance whole-person health models at every stage of life. We make purposeful philanthropic investments in solutions that reduce disparities, eliminate systemic barriers, and result in better health care experiences and outcomes for everyone.
Health Care Workforce
Strengthening the health care workforce, particularly in behavioral health, is key to advancing whole-person care. The pandemic and other challenges continue to put excessive strain on both paid professionals and unpaid caregivers, which exacerbate gaps in care access. There is an urgent need to address and invest in the behavioral health workforce to close these gaps.
Since its launch in 2022, our Health Care Workforce program has focused on removing barriers that contribute to workforce shortages. We invest in solutions that address the root causes of workforce shortages as well as innovative solutions that expand access, such as training providers in integrated and collaborative care models.
Our Workforce Strategy
Health care studies show people generally have better outcomes and experiences when care is provided by more diverse teams. And yet, data hows that a severe lack of diversity exists in the health care workforce. We are committed to partnering with organizations that prioritize centering racial and other diversity strategies to:
Expand
Create opportunities to expand workforce capacity through innovative strategies to recruit new providers into the behavioral health workforce.
Support
Implement activities that address the root causes of burnout, vicarious trauma and overall reduced longevity of current health care providers, including career enrichment and advancement opportunities.
Train
Advance whole-person integrated and collaborative care models to provide primary and preventive care through training and development for a wide range of clinical and nonclinical providers.

Applicants can apply for activities or opportunities that address one or more of these five goals:

- and/or promoting cultural tourism
Proposals in the CCP Grant Program should be geared toward a specific event, activity, or communication of the organization.
