Grant Description

Grants of up to $75,000 to Colorado, Oklahoma, Illinois, and Iowa nonprofit organizations, agencies, and schools for activities that advance the health of local communities. Funding is intended to support the development of programs and the implementation of strategies in the area of healthcare workforce development.

Telligen Community Initiative has a commitment to the health of its communities. Telligen wants to fund programs and nonprofits that address social determinants that impact health and enhance equity, that are making healthcare education more accessible, and that are fostering innovation.

TCI believes the challenges of healthcare workforce shortages and an aging population (healthcare workforce and general public) will require progressive and a fundamental reshaping of the way in which patient care is delivered, especially for primary care. These challenges have been compounded by the global pandemic. TCI envisions change in the point of care and the roles of the interdisciplinary direct care team being factored into the needs of the future healthcare workforce. This is a multi-faceted issue. As such, TCI is interested in supporting a myriad of solutions and approaches with its philanthropy. The following represent methods TCI could envision supporting with its philanthropic resources:

Skilled and inclusive healthcare workforce:
Career Laddering
Practice and Policy Development
Interdisciplinary Education
Para-Professional Development
First Generation Learners / Student Assistant Programming
Youth Career Exploration / STEM
Community Health Workers, Health Navigators or Apprenticeships
Telehealth / Distance Learning / Rural Access
Health Career Degree and Accreditation Planning
New Healthcare Workforce Model
Health Workforce Resiliency
