Grants to USA and Territories nonprofit organizations, government agencies, public schools, and municipal institutions for community-based programs providing innovative approaches to improving cardiovascular health.
Eligible programs are those that meet the following five key criteria:
1. Address patient cardiovascular health issues within the United States and its territories.
2. Recognize and work to address an unmet need related to cardiovascular health in the community.
3. Respond to the urgency around addressing cardiovascular health issues, including cardiovascular disease or conditions contributing to cardiovascular disease.
4. Improve the quality of participants’ and non-professional caregivers’ lives in connection with the services provided and work done.
5. Demonstrate a clear plan for long-term program sustainability, to further improve cardiovascular health after Foundation grants are expended.
Foundation grant applications that meet the criteria and describe innovative initiatives with clearly defined outcomes, measurable results and processes will be considered for funding. Specifically, programs should be designed to track at least 100 unduplicated participants and demonstrate measurement outcomes by mid-year (May 2019) and year-end (December 2019).
The AstraZeneca HealthCare Foundation has two levels of grant funding to support program operations:
- Organizations with New or Existing Programs with 0-1 Year of CCH Funding (Level 1): Organizations that have not received CCH funding in the past and organizations that have received one year of CCH funding may apply for funding between $125,000 and $150,000. Organizations that received one year of CCH funding must apply with their previously CCH-funded program to be considered.
- Previously-Funded Organizations with 2+ Years of CCH Funding for Established Programs (Level 2): Previously-funded organizations that received two or more years of CCH funding may apply for up to $75,000 to sustain a previously CCH-funded program.
The Foundation preference is to support new organizations with innovative programs to expand the reach of the Connections for Cardiovascular HealthSM program. In addition, the Foundation maintains our commitment to support sustainability by providing reduced
funding to support a limited number of previously-funded organizations with programs that demonstrate positive outcomes.

The funds are to be spent based on the budget submitted with the application, and programs are expected to be completed by December the following year.
The organization and its program must be based in the United States and its
territories.

- Municipal institutions (e.g., city health department, municipal hospital or
county board of health).
The organization should be engaged in charitable work at the community level in the United States in support of the Foundation’s CCH program mission.
The AstraZeneca HealthCare Foundation does consider programs where multiple organizations are working together toward a common goal on a joint program. The applying organization should be both the fiscal agent and the managing partner for the duration of the grant.
Programs should be designed with funding for equipment less than 30% of the total budget for equipment that is integral to the specific program design and not for equipment that might support other ongoing, routine programs run by the organization. Equipment costs over 30% of the total funding request will not be considered. Incidental equipment and costs necessary to complete or sustain a project are allowed.
