Award Ceiling: TBD The philanthropic wing of Centene Corporation, the Centene Foundation aims to transform the health of communities through three distinct drivers of health: health care, social services, and education. Projects or programs should align with one or more of Centene Corporation’s focus areas of education, health care (including drivers of health), and social services. Because the foundation recognizes that transforming the health of our communities requires more than one-time contributions, it seeks partnerships that can grow over time and position communities to thrive. | Deadline: May 31, 2025 Award Ceiling: TBD The Caplan Foundation for Early Childhood is an incubator of promising research and development projects that appear likely to improve the welfare of young children, from infancy through seven years, in the United States. Welfare is broadly defined to support, acculturation, societal integration, and childcare. Grants are only made if a successful project outcome will likely be of significant interest to other professionals, within the grantee’s field of endeavor, and would have a direct benefit and potential national application. The Foundation’s goal is to provide seed money to implement those imaginative proposals that exhibit the greatest chance of improving the lives of young children, on a national scale. Because of the Foundation’s limited funding capability, it seeks to maximize a grant's potential impact. | Letter of Intent Deadline: June 13, 2025
