Overview:

Hearst Foundations' Mission

The Hearst Foundations identify and fund outstanding nonprofits to ensure that people
of all backgrounds in the United States have the opportunity to build healthy, productive
and inspiring lives.

Hearst Foundations' Goals

The Foundations seek to achieve their mission by funding approaches that result in:

● Improved health and quality of life

● Access to high quality educational options to promote increased academic
achievement
● Arts and sciences serving as a cornerstone of society
● Sustainable employment and productive career paths for adults
● Stabilizing and supporting families

Funding Priorities
The Hearst Foundations support well-established nonprofit organizations that address
significant issues within their major areas of interests – culture, education, health and
social service – and that primarily serve large demographic and/or geographic
constituencies. In each area of funding, the Foundations seek to identify those
organizations achieving truly differentiated results relative to other organizations
making similar efforts for similar populations. The Foundations also look for evidence of
sustainability beyond their support.

Culture

The Hearst Foundations fund cultural institutions that offer meaningful programs in the
arts and sciences, prioritizing those which enable engagement by young people and
create a lasting and measurable impact. The Foundations also fund select programs
nurturing and developing artistic talent.

Types of Support: Program, capital and, on a limited basis, general and endowment
support

Education

The Hearst Foundations fund educational institutions demonstrating uncommon

success in preparing students to thrive in a global society. The Foundations’ focus is
largely on higher education, but they also fund innovative models of early childhood and
K-12 education, as well as professional development.

Types of Support: Program, scholarship, capital and, on a limited basis, general and
endowment support

Health

The Hearst Foundations assist leading regional hospitals, medical centers and
specialized medical institutions providing access to high-quality healthcare for low-
income populations. In response to the shortage of healthcare professionals necessary to
meet the country’s evolving needs, the Foundations also fund programs designed to
enhance skills and increase the number of practitioners and educators across roles in
healthcare. Because the Foundations seek to use their funds to create a broad and
enduring impact on the nation’s health, support for medical research and the
development of young investigators is also considered.

Types of Support: Program, capital and, on a limited basis, endowment support

Social Service

The Hearst Foundations fund direct-service organizations that tackle the roots of
chronic poverty by applying effective solutions to the most challenging social and
economic problems. The Foundations prioritize supporting programs that have proven
successful in facilitating economic independence and in strengthening families.
Preference is also given to programs with the potential to scale productive practices in
order to reach more people in need.

Types of Support: Program, capital and general support

Hillman Innovations in Care Grant

Next predicted deadline: Mar 8, 2023 8:59pm PST (Letter of inquiry)

Later predicted deadlines: May 17, 2023 8:59pm PDT

Grant amount: Up to US $600,000

The Hillman Innovations in Care (HIC) Program was established in 2014 to advance
innovative, nursing-driven models of care that target the health and healthcare needs of
groups and communities who have historically struggled against oppression,
discrimination and indifference. These populations include Black, Indigenous and
People of Color (BIPOC), the economically disadvantaged, LGBTQ+ people, people
experiencing homelessness, low-income rural populations, and others.

This year the HIC program is issuing a special call for submissions that address racism
and its impact on health. Racism has been, and remains, the root cause of serious health
inequities that unjustly affect communities of color. These disparities include increased
risk for diabetes, heart disease, obesity and mental illness; inequitable access to high
quality care; inordinately negative outcomes such as infant and maternal mortality rates
for Black mothers and babies that are twice as high as those for white populations, and
life expectancy that can be as much as ten years shorter than white counterparts living a
short drive away.

The disproportionate harm of the COVID-19 pandemic in Black, Indigenous and other
communities of color and police killings as part of a long history of police brutality are
other manifestations of structural racism and societal inequities. Addressing and
dismantling racism in its myriad forms—structural, interpersonal, and institutional—is a
critical and constructive approach to advancing health equity and improving population
health.

Goals

The goal of the HIC program is to advance leading-edge, nursing-driven models of care
that will improve the health and health care of vulnerable populations, including the
economically disadvantaged, racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ people, the homeless,
rural populations, and other groups that encounter barriers to accessing health-care
services.

We seek bold, creative, patient- and family-centered approaches that challenge

conventional strategies, improve health outcomes, lower costs, and enhance patient and
family caregiver experience.

Program Priorities

The 2021 HIC program seeks proposals for bold, nursing-driven interventions that:

● Seek to mitigate the effects of racism on health and/or narrow gaps in health
equity
● Identify and address sources of racism that affect health
● Challenge conventional strategies for delivering and improving care to
populations affected by racism
● Build trust and credibility in programs or systems of care
● Are informed by anti-racism practices
● Present strong preliminary evidence
● Show potential for broad replicability

The Foundation seeks proposals that address the health care needs of the vulnerable
populations in the following areas:

● Maternal and child health

● Care of the older adult
● Chronic illness management

Types of Proposals

● The adaptation of proven nursing-driven models to new or expanded settings or

patient populations. The adaptation should be past the pilot phase and
demonstrate significant preliminary evidence.
● The expansion of emerging nursing-driven models with early evidence suggesting
a strong likelihood for achieving Triple Aim-like outcomes on a broad scale.
All proposals must address the potential for:

● Improving health, lowering costs, and enhancing patient and caregiver

experience
● Scalability
● Sustainability

Grant Awards

The program will award two grants of up to $600,000 each, distributed over a 36-
month period.

organizations that are submitting a project that focuses within the United
States

hatlos Foundation

The Chatlos Foundation proclaims the Glory of God by funding nonprofit organizations
doing work in the United States and around the globe. Support is provided to
organizations currently exempt by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States.

Philosophy of Giving

Placement of an organization within our categories is determined by the organization’s

overall mission rather than the project under consideration.

The Foundation’s areas of interest are:

Bible Colleges/Seminaries

Grants to Bible colleges and seminaries total 33% of Foundation distribution. History
has shown grants in this category range in size from $5,000 to $20,000. To assure the
Foundation that the philosophy of the institution is consistent with that of the
Foundation, potential recipients are asked to sign our Statement of Faith.

Religious Causes

Grants to religious organizations total 30% of Foundation distribution. History has

shown that grants in this category range in size from $5,000 to $15,000.
Liberal Arts Colleges

Grants to liberal arts colleges total 7% of Foundation distribution. History has shown
that grants in this category range in size from $2,500 to $7,500. Priority consideration
is given to private colleges.

Medical Concerns

Grants to medical organizations total 26% of Foundation distribution. History has

shown that grants in this category range in size from $5,000 to $15,000.

Social Concerns

Grants to organizations involved in social concerns total 4% of distribution. History has

shown that grants in this category range in size from $2,000 to $5,000. This category
encompasses secular community programs which provide direct services such as child
welfare, vocational training, prison alternatives, concerns for the aged and disabled, and
men, women and families in crisis.

Giving Information

Program support remains a current priority for the Foundation.

On an initial basis, the Foundation tends to fund requests for amounts less than
$10,000.

It is important to note that it is not our intention to become a part of an annual budget.
We expect the projects we fund to become independent of The Chatlos Foundation.

Many organizations are worthy of funding, however, our funding is limited. Applicants
should understand that rejection of the proposal in no way signals rejection of the
proposer.

The large number of requests we receive causes us to decline many proposals which are
worthy of attention and funding.

for 2 or more years and are recognized as tax exempt by the IRS may apply for a
