Foundation offers $10M in grants to support health careers
Friday, March 21, 2025 by Chad Swiatecki
St. David’s Foundation is set to unveil a new funding opportunity aimed at enhancing economic stability within the Central Texas health care sector, with up to $10 million in grants available. The Pathways to Economic Stability for Healthcare Workforce initiative, scheduled for release on March 26, seeks to create collaborative pathways for historically marginalized communities to secure financially sustainable careers in health care. The foundation plans to allocate 24-month grants to support organizations and collaboratives dedicated to supporting the health care workforce. Eligible applicants include tax-exempt entities operating in Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis or Williamson counties, focusing on high-demand health care careers that offer self-sufficient wages. The application process begins with a rolling letter of intent starting March 26, with a submission deadline of May 1. Organizations are encouraged to submit letters of intent promptly to allow ample time for the full application, due by May 13. More information about the program is available online.
