AHW has transitioned to a new online grants management system that is designed to streamline and simplify the application process. We now process all applications through our online system, and do not accept paper or emailed applications. Application links are posted to each open funding opportunity's webpage, as each opportunity has a unique application.
AHW regularly issues requests for applications (RFAs) for funding awards and encourages all interested, eligible teams to consider applying for an open funding opportunity. We seek partners who share our belief that by working together we can build a healthier Wisconsin today, and for generations to come.

We recommend you use this sample document to craft your application, then designate one individual to enter the final application information into the online application form.
