Announcement:
Affinity's funding cycle is closed. Please check back towards the end of this year for 2008 guidelines.
Introduction:
Affinity Health Plan is looking for partnerships between
community-based organizations, providers, public health
researchers and others to test “outside-the-box” ideas
that have the potential to generate new knowledge and
improve the health and healthcare of our communities. We
would like to fund projects that represent all of the
stakeholders needed to solve a complex problem.
Strategic Vision:
Affinity is deeply concerned with the disparities that
exist among and across populations, access to care, and
the health status of the population. Because of this,
our Board established the following goals for
grantmaking, under the Making a World of Difference
program:
- Reduce the burden of
illness, injury and disability
- Improve the health
and functioning of people in our communities
- Deliver healthcare
that is safe, effective, patient-centered, timely,
efficient and equitable
- Focus attention on
programs that address/reduce disparities
- Focus attention on
programs that improve health literacy and,
therefore, improve clinical and other outcomes.
