Trillium Community Health Plan has announced a Request for Proposals for 2023 Community Benefits Initiatives.

A release said all grant funding is designed to support projects that drive healthcare quality solutions to improve the social determinants of health through the program. Proposed community-level interventions may support both Trillium Oregon Health Plan members and members of the larger community and are focused on improving health outcomes, alleviating health disparities and advancing health equity.

Trillium will award approximately $18 million to local organizations that provide service to communities in the tri-county and southwest regions, with funding awards anticipated to start at $200,000 or more.

Organizations serving Lane, Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington counties along with western parts of Douglas and Linn counties are invited to apply. Applications are due by April 28th at 5:00 p.m. Awards will be announced July 1st.
