Opportunity Overview
The Tennessee Department of Health’s County Health Council Collaborative Action for Rural Engagement (CARE) Grants, identified as RFA 34320-19727, is an applicant-facing rural health transformation funding competition intended to support implementation of county health improvement priorities. The Tennessee Department of Health describes County Health Councils as local partnerships bringing together schools, governments, health organizations, nonprofits and community members to address priority public health needs.
Funding and Deadline
Independent third-party indexing reports a November 20, 2026 application deadline at 2:00 p.m. Central Time and indicates that individual awards may be available up to $500,000 from an approximately $2,000,000 program pool. These amount and deadline details have not been independently confirmed against the complete controlling Tennessee RFA. The statewide funding pool must not be mistaken for an individual award.
Eligibility and Restrictions
Potential applicants are organizations able to support rural county health council initiatives, but exact legal applicant categories, geographic rules, match or cost-sharing requirements, allowable expenses, reimbursement terms, application attachments and evaluation criteria must be confirmed in the controlling RFA and any amendments.
