The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has announced a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) that will award grant money to a lead organization to develop a multi-year campaign supporting and promoting the inclusion of community health workers (CHWs) in health teams. Community health workers are trusted members of their communities, who serve as a bridge between health care and social services and the community. The grant funding opportunity supports CHW programs around the state by creating a campaign to improve awareness and understanding of what CHWs do and support the effective integration of CHWs into public health, health care, and human services organizations. The initial grant will award up to $25,000 to an organization to develop a multi-year plan to promote and advance the CHW workforce in the state. Further details on the grant requirements and the grant application process can be found at http://www.idphgrants.com. Applications must be submitted no later than March 17, 2025, at 5 p.m. Central time. IDPH will hold an informational session on the funding opportunity on Friday, February 14, 2025, at 1 p.m. Central time at this link: https://illinois.webex.com/meet/CHW.Review.Board.
