Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

  • Medi-Cal policy, CalAIM implementation, and managed care reform
  • Safety net primary care capacity, workforce pipelines, postgraduate training
  • Behavioral health integration, maternal mental health, treatment beds
  • Health care for people experiencing homelessness and complex needs
  • Health journalism, opinion research, and California survey data infrastructure
  • Community health workers, promotores, doulas as recognized workforce

Typical grant

Median grant is $50,000 and the middle half runs $15,000 to $124,482, so most of what they fund is a discrete study, a landscape analysis, a convening, or a conference sponsorship. The seven-figure checks go to multi-year data infrastructure and evaluation contracts with UCSF, UCLA, KFF, and University of Washington, plus intermediaries like Tides Center and Community Partners that manage learning collaboratives. Recipients repeat heavily across years and often hold several concurrent grants bundled under one recipient line, which means the relationship, not the single proposal, is the unit of funding.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

  • CalAIM
  • Medi-Cal
  • safety net
  • learning collaborative
  • landscape analysis
  • general operating support
  • complex needs

Positioning adjacent work

  • Frame the question as informing a specific California policy lever: AB 890, SB 65, Prop 1, CalAIM waiver implementation.
  • Pitch $75,000 to $250,000 for a landscape analysis or phase-one exploratory study rather than a multi-year program.
  • Name the state agency, health plan, or safety net system that will use your findings, ideally DHCS or a public hospital system.
  • Offer to join or feed an existing learning collaborative or coalition instead of proposing a standalone effort.

Worth knowing: This is a California-only funder in practice: 865 of 1,207 grants went in-state, and the DC, MA, and NJ recipients are consultancies and policy shops (Mathematica, CHCS, Manatt, Health Management Associates) doing California work. A striking share of the money flows to LLCs and consulting firms on what read as commissioned contracts, so an unsolicited academic proposal competes against vendors they already know and re-hire.
