Intermediary Services
HealthPath works to connect funders with community-based organizations who understand the local area and can drive results. Together, our work strengthens our local communities.
HealthPath is a 501(c)(3) organization that works with government, foundations, individuals, or corporations to distribute grant funds and provides technical assistance to support the grantees’ work. In this role, HealthPath is positioned to make a difference in communities by acting as the conduit between a funding entity and a beneficiary organization such as a county office, school, or nonprofit organization.
Practicing the Intermediary Model
How does HealthPath work as an intermediary with funders and beneficiary organizations?
Example
A state agency contracts HealthPath to re-grant $1 million to implement a new program in several counties. The percentage of funds can be allocated according to funder requirements:
Distributed to multiple county agencies to administer programs across various industries.
Used for convening and network building, such as coordinating a kickoff conference and several networking events to share information and conduct training.
Allocated for an evaluation of the overall program.
Used to issue an RFP to attract applications, monitor appropriate use of funds, report outcomes and outputs, and provide training and technical assistance to the subgrantees.
