Great strides have been made in organizing residents to address health issues with policymakers, but resource and other constraints often limit these efforts. Community members and policymakers alike would benefit from a stronger engagement infrastructure that supports opportunities for people to connect in ways that are sustainable, convenient, meaningful, and inclusive.

RWJF is funding new projects to support ongoing ways for community members' voices be part of decisions around health care, social service, and public health systems, support their efforts to solve problems, and strengthen their community networks.

Projects should connect residents with state-level decisions and/or establish infrastructure that could be adopted in many other locations across a state. Up to $3.96 million is available.
