Rural Health Transformation Program Explained: Funding for 2026 and Beyond

Oct 09, 2025

The 'One Big Beautiful Bill' included significant reductions to Medicaid funding over the next decade, and rural health care providers are expected to bear a disproportionate share of these spending cuts. 

Fortunately, the federal government is simultaneously making a historic $50 billion investment over the next five years to strengthen delivery and improve health care access in rural communities through the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). RHTP grants will be a critical lifeline to rural providers, and applicants will need to understand the complex administration of this state-administered program.

Join Grants Office for this timely Grantscast, where we’ll break down the key components of the program, timelines, and what that might mean for rural providers of health services. 

Whether you represent a health system, critical access hospital, community clinic, tribal health provider, local government, or other types of health professionals that serve rural areas, this session will help you understand the impact on rural health delivery and the innovations that may be possible under this transformative new program.

It Takes a Village: Collaborative Grantseeking for Economic Development (US & CAN)
It Takes a Village: Collaborative Grantseeking for Economic Development (US & CAN)

Sep 24, 2025

Economic development is a complex, multi-faceted process that epitomizes the phrase – it takes a village. No single entity can foster sustainable growth by itself. Instead, economic development is driven by active public and private sector collaboration to create jobs, build infrastructure, and cultivate the area workforce.

Success in these joint ventures generates jobs, boosts tax revenue for public services, enhances quality of life, and builds resilience for local communities. Area businesses also benefit from a supportive growth environment, gaining skilled labor, vital infrastructure, market expansion, and innovation, all boosting profitability and viability for the private sector.

Join our team of Grants Office funding experts as we navigate the grants landscape in economic development. In this 60-minute session, we will explore public and private sector funding opportunities, naming key players and major trends while illustrating how national, regional, and foundation funders prioritize their grantmaking efforts. Along the way, we will share helpful strategies on how to build collaborative grant proposals that involve more than one applicant.

This event is intended for public and private sector audiences in the US and Canada. Whether you belong to a small business, a local government, a community organization, a utility company, or a chamber of commerce, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to improve your grant readiness and help your next economic development proposal stand out amongst the rest.
