We seek to make an enduring contribution to society by supporting innovative end-of-life care public education and culture change efforts designed with the everyday American in mind. We want to help make discussions about medical care decisions more accessible and welcoming for people from all walks of life. We are particularly interested in projects that reach communities of color and we value creative approaches that connect to people in their everyday lives.  
 
We receive applications by invitation only and do not accept unsolicited proposals.
