Project details
What we need
- A compilation of research on a specific topic (e.g. industry best practices, literature review, media contacts, industry trends, etc.) including a list of sources
- Recommendations on areas for further exploration/research
- Note: This project is not designed to be used for prospect or grant research
Additional details
We need assistance identifying funding opportunities to support our Community Health Worker and Healthcare Navigation programs.
What we have in place
- We currently have set geographic areas, target populations, and priorities, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a list of previous funders, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,239 , allowing us to sustain our programs for longer with our limited funding.
Finding funding to support these programs will allow us to continue to offer programming that our community has come to rely upon. These programs work to activate consumers to understand and advocate for their health and the health of their communities.

Our mission
Consumer Health Coalition's (CHC) mission is to inspire a consumer movement to enhance opportunities for health and pathways to quality, affordable and accessible healthcare for all Pennsylvanians. We recognize and understand that people experience different starting points and social determinants, which create inequities in health and well-being. CHC is dedicated to the eradication of disparities in health access and outcomes through education, advocacy and awareness raising projects.
What we do
CHC reaches out to and enrolls at-risk consumers in public health insurance programs and educates the community about the availability of public health insurance programs and pertinent health policy issues. We both serve and organize at-risk, marginalized people and the organizations that serve them to influence system reform. We have a strong commitment to partnerships in Allegheny County and Southwestern Pennsylvania and strive to continually expand our reach.
CHC's advocacy efforts are both self and systemic. We strive to educate and activate consumers to be in charge of their own health care. Through our advocacy work, consumers have written and published letters to the editor, developed education tools and resources, visited numerous county, state, and federal legislators, offered testimony at public hearings, structured and conducted community forums, and created issue-based advocacy campaigns.
