Building Capacity for Health Advocacy

Update on the 2025 Building Capacity for Health Advocacy Grant Cycle

June 6, 2025

Thank you to everyone who applied to the Building Capacity for Health Advocacy grant cycle. All notifications to organizations that submitted an LOI have now been sent.

We received nearly 700 applications—an unprecedented number for Rx—and we were deeply moved by the care, courage, and creativity reflected across the submissions. The work you shared is powerful, urgent, and deeply rooted in the well-being of your communities.

Rx foundation will not run a new grant cycle in 2026. These grants are multi-year commitments, and we have historically run an open call for new applicants every two to four years. To honor what this moment has revealed, we’re taking time to reflect, support our current and future grantee partners, and consider how we can better show up for the field of advocacy, community power-building, and health justice.

We also recognize the importance of connection, especially for organizations that may not have received funding this round. In the coming months, we’ll explore ways to build community and share opportunities with this broader group of applicants.

Thank you for your work, your trust, and your ongoing leadership. We’re grateful to be in your community.
