Background: 

Through the construction of the Phillip and Susan Ragon Building at Massachusetts General Hospital, more than $62 million in Determination of Need (DoN) funding has been made available to support community health initiatives.

These Community Health Impact Funds (CHIF) present a unique opportunity to partner with community organizations in advancing sustainable, long-term improvements in the health and well-being of the communities we serve. Through this investment, we aim to support innovative, community-driven solutions that address key health and social needs while fostering lasting impact.

Questions? 

We are committed to ensuring that this funding process is equitable, accessible, and transparent. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out (SRCHIANG@mgh.harvard.edu). We also encourage you to share this opportunity with colleagues, partners, and organizations that may be interested in applying.

This is an exciting moment for both our health system and the communities we serve. We look forward to working together to create meaningful and lasting change.
