About our grants

How our grant funding works

The Humana Foundation focuses on four primary commitments, all of which have different grant periods and change according to available funds.

We encourage you to read about each to determine if your grant proposal idea fits one of our commitment areas.

• Connected Healthy Lives 
• Health Equity Innovation Fund
• Disaster Philanthropy
• Research

Our grant management system streamlines the application process, allowing applicants to upload documents and track follow-up communications.

Proposals will be accepted through our new grant management system, which requires grantees to first establish a profile and complete an eligibility check. Please refer to the user guide with SmartSimple for tips on navigating the grant management system.
