Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Invites Applications for Local Funding Partnerships 2009-2010

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Local Funding Partnerships program works to forge relationships between RWJF and local grantmakers willing to fund promising original projects with the potential to significantly improve the health of vulnerable people in their communities.

To be eligible for funding through the program, projects must be new, innovative, collaborative, and community-based. Significant program expansions into new regions or to new populations may also be considered. Funds may not be used to maintain existing projects.

Projects must be nominated by a local grantmaker committed to participating as one of the funding partners. Local funding partners must be willing to work with grantees to obtain sufficient dollar-for-dollar matching funds throughout the grant period. Funding partners may include independent and private foundations, family and community foundations, and corporate and other philanthropies. Matching funds must represent new funding specifically designated to support the proposed project. In-kind services may not be used to match RWJF funds.

Up to $6 million in total funding is available for the 2010 grant cycle. The program expects to award up to fourteen matching grants of between $200,000 to $500,000 each.

Stage 1 brief proposals will be accepted beginning April 15, 2009.

See the RWJF Web site for complete program guidelines.
