Texas Health Seeks Erath County Proposals for Community Impact Grants

Texas Health is accepting proposals for its 2027-2028 Community Impact grant cycle, with Erath County among the North Texas communities eligible for funding. In the Southern Region, which includes Erath and Johnson counties, the initiative will focus on reducing caregiver stress by increasing community supports in Stephenville ZIP code 76401 and Dublin ZIP code 76446. Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. CDT on May 29.

Texas Health has provided more than $23 million in Texas Health Community Impact grants to organizations to help address health disparities, eliminate root causes of chronic disease and provide residents with tools that instill lifelong health and well-being.

Now, Texas Health is accepting proposals for our next round – $5 million in cross-sector collaborative grants.

The Community Impact grants fund multi-sector collaborations aimed at addressing complex health challenges in local communities.

“Community Impact grants aren’t about working in silos. They’re designed to bring together organizations from different sectors of communities – education, healthcare, cities, grassroots organizations and nonprofits — because no single organization can address complex health challenges alone,” said Catherine Oliveros, DrPH, Texas Health’s vice president of Community Health Improvement. “These collaborations focus on root causes, not just symptoms, helping residents build healthier lives today and for years to come.”

The newest grants will focus on high-need ZIP codes, as identified by the Texas Health Community Health Needs Assessment, in nine North Texas counties: Collin, Dallas, Denton, Erath, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Tarrant, and Wise.

In Erath County, Texas Health is advancing a two‑phase community investment initiative to strengthen caregiver support in these ZIP codes: Stephenville (76401) and (Dublin) 76446. In Phase One, funding will support the development of innovative plans designed to ease caregiver burdens by enhancing community‑based services. In Phase Two, additional funds will be awarded based on the strength of collaborative proposals.

Requests for proposals (RFPs) for the 2027-28 grant cycle can be submitted here now through May 29.
