Maricopa County Department of Public Health Issuing $12M in Health Disparity Grants

 Here’s Where to Learn More

The Maricopa County Department of Public Health is offering up to $12 million in health disparities grant funding to agencies, municipalities, and other organizations among 5 regions in Maricopa County.

The funding will be used to help develop and work through strategies and interventions that consider systemic barriers and potentially discriminatory practices. COVID-19 and the ripple effects of economic and school closures, job loss, isolation, etc. has meant that many families and individuals did not see healthcare providers for regular checkups, increasing the likelihood of undiagnosed or unmanaged chronic illnesses, oral health, mental health, etc. 

Funding must support Policy, System and Environmental changes that can impact the disparity gap for vulnerable and marginalized populations. Funds are not intended for direct services or direct financial distribution to the public. Funding will be awarded via 5 opportunities for the following regions:

• Northwest Region
• Southwest Region
• Central/City of Phoenix Region
• Northeast Region
• Southeast Region
