Plans for the HWPP Strategic component are now available on the AHW website. Two RFPs are currently open calling for:
  • Multi-sector Community Coalitions

The HWPP Strategic component is focused on catalyzing health improvement in community-
based behavioral health.

The HWPP's Responsive component's fourth funding opportunity is now open. The funding will support Wisconsin-based organizations, local leaders and citizens to create strong, healthy neighborhoods and communities. 

  • Participants will demonstrate how a range of partners from multiple sectors can work together to pursue evidence-based strategies around grassroots policy, environmental or systems change (PSE) that address the key determinants that most strongly influence community health.
  • Successful projects will demonstrate an appropriate budget and time frame for their proposed scope of work.
  • Approximately $1 million to $1.5 million is available to support four to six projects
