Overview

The Rapid REACH Equity Fund, launched by the REACH Healthcare Foundation, seeks to offer flexible funding to small and developing nonprofit organizations that align with the foundation's mission of advancing health equity. This grant program is especially focused on supporting organizations serving Black, Brown, Immigrant, Refugee, and rural communities. It aims to provide unrestricted financial support with minimal requirements to organizations aiding highly vulnerable populations, thereby reducing the turnaround time for grant awards. This initiative represents a direct response to insights gained from the Centering Black Voices pilot and embodies the foundation's wider commitment to health equity for all communities.
