Providing health care services to much of rural America has become increasingly difficult in recent years. During the 1970s, rural communities thrived with economic expansion and unprecedented population growth. At that time, rural health providers represented viable institutions offering an array of medical services to their communities. By the early 1980s, however, thousands of communities were confronted with downturns in agriculture, mining, timber, and manufacturing -- bringing a near halt to population growth and eroding health care services, as well.
A new statistical profile of rural America emerged: one with a greater number of unemployed and underemployed residents, a greater number of residents with little or no health insurance, and a higher proportion of both young and old residents. The collapse of health care services in many areas, such as rural hospital closures, began to feed and accelerate this transformation.
In the 1990's, rural health care providers began to rally in the face of this challenge. They have been developing new strategies for meeting the needs of their communities, and have been working creatively with their colleagues and neighboring communities to maximize resources.
Much of that effort has been enhanced with financial and technical assistance from federal, state, and private institutions. In the spirit of that same assistance, this publication is offered to those who are working to assure and improve health care in rural America now and throughout the decade.

The process of grantsmanship covers a broad scope of activities including preliminary planning and research, proposal development, and proposal follow-up. Throughout this process, two questions are commonly asked by grantseekers, "Where is the money available?" and "How do I get funding?" The following discussion addresses these questions and provides information for grantseekers in search of funding dollars.
Where Does the Money Come From?
The two primary sources of grant money are public and private funds. Public funds are obtained from governmental units, such as federal, state, and local agencies. Private funds, on the other hand, come from organizations involved in charitable giving, such as foundations, direct giving programs, voluntary agencies, and community groups (see Figure 1).

Public Funding
The federal government administers several types of grants designed to accomplish different purposes, such as conducting scientific research, demonstrating a particular theory, or delivering services to a specific population. Examples of these grants include:
In addition to federal funding, state and local agencies also administer grants. Monies used to support these programs are obtained primarily through state and local tax revenues and funds received from the federal government (e.g., block and formula grants).
Private Funding
Private funding can be obtained from a variety of sources, such as foundations, corporations, voluntary agencies and community groups. For the most part, philanthropic organizations fund programs which either address their individual interests (e.g., farm safety) or benefit a particular group (e.g., company employees and their dependents). For example, the Brookdale Foundation, which focuses on the needs of the elderly, supports a surrogate parenting program for grandparents and other relatives who have taken on the responsibility of surrogate parenting when the biological parents are unwilling or unable to do so.
A brief description of the major types of philanthropic organizations is provided below.
1) Private foundations - foundations which receive income from an individual, family or group of individuals. The funding priorities of private foundations are usually based on the personal philosophies of the founding members. The two private foundations that probably make the most grants for rural health projects are the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation of Princeton, N.J. and the R.W. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, MI.
2) Corporate foundations - foundations which receive contributions from a profit-making entity, such as a corporation (e.g., Citigroup Foundation).
3) Community foundations - foundations involved in grant giving within a specific community, state, or region (e.g., Northwest Area Foundation).
4) Direct giving programs - philanthropic arms of corporations which donate goods and services for charitable causes (e.g., IBM Corporation).
5) Voluntary agencies - private organizations which support charitable programs that are consistent with their overall mission. The American Red Cross, for example, provides printed materials and staff consultation for health projects in various communities.
6) Community groups - local organizations which focus on supporting projects within their communities. Examples of these organizations include churches, Junior Leagues, and civic associations.
Foundation directories are listed in Section II.C. Foundations that are particularly active in rural health are listed in Appendix C.
How Can I Obtain Funding?
Regardless of the type of funding desired, the grantsmanship process involves three distinct phases: preliminary planning and research, effective proposal writing, and proposal follow-up. To complete these phases successfully, the grantseeker should consider the following steps.
| STEPS | QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER |
| Step 1:
Identify a Need |
|
| Step 2:
Identify Funding Sources |
|
| Step 3:
Develop a Proposal |
|
| Step 4:
Submit a Proposal |
|
| Step 5:
Follow-Up |
|
Although not exhaustive, these steps provide a general "game plan" for individuals embarking on a grant search. By following these guidelines, grantseekers can prepare a more effective funding strategy and increase their overall chances of success. Additional "how-to" resources discussing the grantsmanship process are provided in the Recommended Reading section of this publication.
How Do I Get Started?
Perhaps the hardest part of the grantsmanship process is getting started! With this in mind, the following checklist has been developed to help grantseekers get off on the right track.
Once a program need has been determined, grantseekers must begin the task of identifying potential funding sources. The following section outlines the range of investigative tools and directories available to grantseekers and describes information sources for both public and private funding (see Figure 3).

Substance Abuse Funding News. Silver Spring, MD: CD Publications.
Bi-weekly series.
This newsletter, published twice monthly, provides detailed coverage
of private and federal funding opportunities nationwide for alcohol and
substance abuse programs. Also available online.
According to The Foundation Center, over 800 of the nation's 29,000
foundations publish annual reports. These reports represent the most complete,
up to date, information published about foundations. Grantseekers interested
in obtaining these reports should contact the foundations directly. When
requesting these reports, they should also ask to be placed on the foundation's
mailing list. This will increase their likelihood of receiving materials
related to upcoming grants.
State Attorney General's Office
Another source of information on private funders is the State Attorney
General's office. By law, each foundation and charitable trust is required
to submit an annual tax return outlining their assets and grants awarded
for the year. These returns are particularly helpful when researching small
organizations who may not publish separate, annual reports.
Local Libraries
Perhaps the best, and often overlooked, resource for grantseekers is
the local public library. As previously mentioned, more than 100 U.S. libraries
participate in The Foundation Center's extensive library network. These
libraries maintain many of the funding sourcebooks listed in this publication.
Many local and regional libraries also maintain reference collections
on community foundations. State funding directories, foundation annual
reports, and local newspaper files (e.g., newspaper clippings or magazine
articles) are a few examples of resource materials available from some
of these libraries.
Federal agencies provide useful funding information through their grant
offices, information centers, and published announcements. A selected list

The following list highlights some of the more common words and phrases
used in the field of grantmaking.
Application procedures -- set of instructions issued by funders
outlining the steps necessary for proposal review (e.g., submission deadlines,
letter of intent, contact person, mail address). These guidelines vary
somewhat among the different funding organizations.
Block grants -- grants in which a "block" of federal money is
issued to a state or local government for the purpose of funding-related
programs, such as those supporting preventive health services. States receiving
the money may appropriate the funds based on the needs of their communities.
Community foundation -- foundation involved in grant giving within
a specific community or region.
Contract -- a binding agreement used to procure specified services.
Cooperative Agreement -- an agreement between a funding agency
and grantee which extends to the funder some degree of programmatic control.
Cooperative agreements are often used by the government to conduct extramural
clinical trials.
Corporate foundation -- foundation which receives contributions
from a profit-making entity, such as a corporation. Many foundations fund
programs which directly impact communities located near their company operations.
Demonstration project -- a project, usually experimental in nature,
designed to "demonstrate" a particular idea or hypothesis.
Demonstration grant -- funds used to underwrite a feasibility
study.
Form 990-PF -- information statement submitted by foundations
which outlines their assets and annual giving. This form is submitted to
the State Attorney General's office and is made available for public review.

based on a formula or criterion prescribed in legislation or regulations.
Grant -- monetary award or direct assistance in support of a
pre-determined program or research activity.
Grantsmanship -- the process of identifying funds and the steps
involved in obtaining them.
In-kind support -- nonmonetary contributions made by the grantee
representing such items as equipment, supplies, services or technical expertise.
Letter of intent/inquiry -- initial contact with a funder outlining
the proposed project or plan. A more detailed description of the project
is often requested if the initial proposal is "accepted."
Matching funds -- monies which accompany or "match" the funder's
contribution. These funds can come from either the grantee or a third party.
OMB Circular -- the Federal Office of Management and Budget's
management guidelines for grant recipients. Circular A-110: grant rules
for the administration of federal grants to nonprofits; Circular A-122:
explanation of nonprofits allocation of expenses to grant programs; Circular
A-87: state and local governments allocation of expenses to grant programs.
Program officer/contact -- representative of the funding office/agency
who is responsible for some, or all, components of the grant's administration.
Project grants -- grants issued by the federal government to
support individual projects in accordance with legislation. They provide
the funding agency with discretion in selecting the project, grantee, and
amount of award.
Proposal -- A written plan submitted to potential funders. The
proposal usually addresses the program's goals, objectives, methods, budget,
and evaluation.
Private foundation -- foundation which receives income from an
individual, family, or group of individuals. Funding priorities of private
foundations are usually based on the personal philosophies of the founding
members (i.e., health care for all people).

for a specified contract in support of a particular project or service.
Request for proposal (RFP) -- announcement inviting proposals
for a specified type of grant.
Seed money -- "start up" money used to support a new project
or venture. This money is used for such purposes as salaries and operating
expenses.
Solicited proposal -- a grantseeker's response to a request for
a proposal issued by a funding organization.
Technical assistance -- nonmonetary support in the form of skilled
aid and support, which often develops long-term solutions to problems instead
of a short-term answer.
Unsolicited proposal -- a proposal which originates from the
grantseeking organization. Some funding organizations do not allow unsolicited
proposals.

Statewide Foundation Directories and
Databases
For the grantseeker interested in local funding, statewide directories
and databases provide valuable information on local funding sources. Compiled
by organizations such as grantmaking associations and state governments,
these directories and databases highlight the funding patterns of local
givers often excluded from the larger, national directories. More than
forty states publish foundation directories and, in many cases, make them
available through their local public libraries. Some directories are updated
annually, while others are updated as needed.

World Wide Web Resources
Funding information is increasingly available through the World Wide Web.
User-friendly access to Internet resources is provided by Web browsers,
such as Mosaic and Netscape, which are usually included with telecommunications
software supplied by Internet service providers. Each Web site has a "home
page," which is accessed by entering an address, known as a Uniform Resource
Locator (URL), in the location field of the Web browser software. URLs
begin with a standard prefix (http://) and are often followed by a long
string of characters, sometimes including numbers and symbols. Although
the URL must be typed in the address field the first time a site is accessed,
most sophisticated Web browsers have a "bookmark" feature which allows
users to add frequently accessed URLs to a list for subsequent selection.
