Past Funding Efforts
Between October 2020 and September 2022, DOH partnered with DH to distribute over $13.6 million in funds to more than 200 community-based organizations and community media outlets to respond to communities’ information needs during the pandemic. Funding needs, priorities, and activities were determined by these community partners. DOH invested an additional $5.8 million to develop and expand program infrastructure and support partner capacity building.
Current Funding Efforts
In November 2022, DOH launched the Community-Driven Outreach (CDO) program. This program will distribute $21 million in state funding to contractors serving priority communities from November 2022 through May 2024 with some partners extending beyond this timeline.
