AHW uses an online grant management system that is designed to streamline and simplify the application process. We process all applications through online forms, and do not accept paper or emailed applications. Application links are posted to each open funding opportunity's webpage; each opportunity has a unique application.
AHW regularly issues requests for applications for funding awards and encourages all interested, eligible teams to consider applying for an open funding opportunity. We seek partners who share our belief that by working together we can build a healthier Wisconsin today, and for generations to come.
Download Our Pre-Application Checklist
Our pre-application checklist is designed to help you:
Determine whether your project is a good fit for an AHW community-led grant
Gather the information you need to apply for one of these grants
Prepare and submit your application
Identify changes or preparations you’ll need to make before starting an application
As you go work through the checklist, if your answer is “yes,” that indicates a good fit for one aspect of your project or application. If your answer is “no,” that indicates you’ll need to make some changes to your planned project before applying, or identify a different project to propose.
For many funding opportunities, AHW provides a Word document version of the online application to allow project partners to collaborate on writing the application. We recommend you use this sample document to craft your application, then designate one individual to enter the final application information into the online application form.
Save Your Work
By entering your email address and password, you can save your work (excluding attachments) and return to complete it. Only one individual from the applicant team should begin and complete an application.
Correctly Format Your Application
AHW’s online application form has character limits that are listed in the sample document. Pay attention to the character limits when copying and pasting information into the online application, as the system will only accept text at the set limit. Special formatting such as colors, bold, underline, or italics will not be captured. In addition, images or tables are not allowed. Please double-check your information before submission. You will receive an error message if all required fields are not completed.
Add Approval Signatures
Following submission, signatures will be required from key individuals listed in the application in order to indicate their awareness and support of the application. Following submission, each individual will receive an email with instructions to complete and submit their signature via DocuSign. Required signatures must be submitted by the signature deadline in order to advance the application to the merit review stage.
Schedule a Consultation
The AHW team is here to help! If you have questions about whether your project idea aligns with an AHW funding opportunity or want to clarify proposal requirements, request a pre-application consultation with a member of the AHW team.
