Common questions
How many grants for health programs are open in California right now?
As of Oct 28, 2026, we list 59 open grants for health programs in California. 14 close within the next 30 days. We refresh this list from Grants.gov and other sources every 10 minutes.
What does the first-time % column mean?
For federal grants we look up the program behind the announcement on USAspending and compute the share of recent awards that went to organizations that had not won under that program before. A high number means newcomers win regularly; a low number means it mostly re-funds past grantees.
What is the largest health grant available?
The largest award ceiling among the open opportunities listed here is $11M. Most grants make several awards, so typical award sizes are usually lower. Check each listing's award range and the program page's median.
When is the next deadline?
The next deadline is Oct 30, 2026. Federal applications usually require an active SAM.gov registration and a Grants.gov account, which can take two to four weeks to set up, so start early.
Can you help us apply?
Yes. Our grant writers can check your eligibility for free, then write and submit the application for a fixed price.
Which foundations fund health programs in California?
Our local-funders pages list private foundations by where their grants actually went, from IRS 990-PF filings, with whether each accepts applications. See /funders/california/.
