Episcopal Health Foundation Approves 74 Grants Totaling $19.2M in First Open Cycle, Much of the Largest Share Goes to Texas FQHCs

Episcopal Health Foundation approved 74 grants totaling $19.2 million in the first round awarded through an open application process under its 2025-2030 'Igniting Change' strategic framework, reaching organizations across its 81-county Texas service area including 32 grantees serving rural counties and 15 grantees in or serving the Fort Worth/Tarrant County region.

The largest share — $9.4 million across 31 grants under 'Strengthening Comprehensive Care' — went in large part to federally qualified health centers expanding beyond traditional clinical care into food and nutrition security, maternal health, and diabetes prevention; other streams backed community-voice/policy work ($3.1M/16 grants), health-coverage enrollment navigation ($4.6M/18 grants) amid a more complex insurance landscape, innovative health-financing pilots ($650K), and community-health-worker training ($680K/3 grants).
