Cape Cod Healthcare Seeks Community Benefits Grant Applications

Cape Cod Healthcare (CCHC) is pleased to release its 2025 Annual
Strategic Grant Request for Proposals (RFP). The 2025 RFP is part of an annual competitive grant process focused on addressing the unmet health needs of the residents of Barnstable County. Organizations are invited to submit proposals for programs or projects that improve residents’ physical and/or behavioral health. The CCHC Community Benefits grants program is open to all nonprofit community organizations operating in Barnstable County, which have programs aligned with CCHC Community Benefits priorities.

  •  Explain how the proposed program improves health
  •  Promote and address health equity
