You may apply this year if the following conditions have been met:
- The funds have been fully expended

My organization has a current grant through one of the other iFund opportunities (Opportunities for Children or Services for Older Adults). Am I eligible to apply for the Access to Health Care iFund grant?
Yes, but only if it is for a different program. We will not consider funding the same program with two different iFund grants.

Yes, all organizations that submit an application will be notified of funding decisions by end of February 2023.
