The HIT GRD™ 2008 is the result of two years of research into the funding of health information technology by private foundations, community-based public foundations, community foundations, and corporate support programs. The publisher and researchers of the highly-regarded annual report on RHIO finance have created this invaluable resource as a means of accelerating the build-out of health IT implementations and the adoption of advanced technology among providers large and small, urban and rural.
Originally intended to be a single volume of a few hundred pages, researchers were astounded at the number of potential funding sources for health information technology. The large number of entries for the directory necessitated dividing its more than 5,600 state-by-state entries (4,065 unduplicated grantmakers) into five regional editions. Nationally-focused funders are repeated in each volume, and regionally-focused funders are included within their respective New England, Middle Atlantic, Midwest, Southeast and West/Southwest volumes.
The directory is in electronic form (PDF) to make it fully searchable and to permit cut-and-paste convenience. Contact information is provided for thousands of grantmakers. The HIT GRD provides the materials necessary for initial contact and discussion with potential funders.
The Listings
With each listing, the funder's website is given (if one could be found at the time the listing was researched), and, where provided by the funder, the contact person's name, street address, telephone, email address and deadline information. The magnitude of grants given annually by each funder is included. If applicants must arrange to be invited to apply, it is noted.
Funder entries were selected from America's more than 50,000 foundations and other grantmaking private funders. Resources were selected based on patterns of giving, expressed funding interests, minimum grant values appropriate for regional or local economies, and other criteria. All have funded healthcare, and all have funded either capacity-building projects, capital development projects, hospital and clinic expansions, equipment purchases, technology upgrades or other pertinent projects.
Approaches
In addition to the directory listings, the author brings twenty-two years of capital development experience to the question of how private funding entities should be approached, and how health IT grant applications may be made maximally effective based on new research on the lifesaving contributions of health IT, including increased patient safety, increased healthcare effectiveness, reduction of medical errors, containment of healthcare costs and advantages to the community's employers, human services networks and underserved populations.
The Study/Meet/Case capital development method brings processes familiar in the IT department to the funding effort: process modeling, financial feasibility study, and case building. Used by nonprofit organizations to acquire community-wide support, the method is especially effective in projects that may require educating the philanthropic community.
Vendors will find a discussion of how they can assist customers with grant acquisition services.
