| Creating Health Access for Next Generation Equity (CHANGE) | Part XIV, Line 2c | 2023 Creating Health Access for Next Generation Equity Criteria:About the Creating Health Access for Next Generation Equity (CHANGE) Program The AstraZeneca Foundation is committed to advancing health equity in the US to ensure that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health. The Foundation works to accomplish this by supporting nonprofit organizations with initiatives that address social determinants of health, or the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age that impact health. As an important determinant of health outcomes, a key priority for the Foundation is improving access to timely and quality healthcare services for people experiencing disadvantages due to their race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, income, socioeconomic status, ability, citizenship status, limited English proficiency, literacy, housing status, geographic location or any other barriers to accessing healthcare. The Foundation recognizes that access to quality healthcare can be a challenge due to barriers such as a lack of health insurance, transportation, employment and general socioeconomic status, among other factors. Accordingly, the AstraZeneca Foundation has established the Creating Health Access for Next Generation Equity (CHANGE) program. The CHANGE program awards Foundation grants to U.S.-based, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations or similar nonprofit organizations working to advance health equity and improve access to quality healthcare in their communities. The intent of the grants is to provide general operating support for organizations working in innovative, collaborative ways at the community level to help improve access to quality healthcare in their community during the grant year and beyond. Our aim is for funded organizations to maximize the benefit to community members and community-based organizations and to work toward continuing their services beyond potential AstraZeneca Foundation funding. The nonprofit organization must meet the following key criteria: 1. Serve communities in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and/or Washington D.C. 2. Demonstrate a commitment to health equity by working to improve access to quality healthcare for people experiencing disadvantages due to the race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status and/or more. 3. Provide culturally responsive services to help improve access to quality healthcare including but not limited to 1) providing access to care services and coordination of care, 2) mitigating barriers that impact access to care services and/or 3) improving cultural responsiveness of organizations. Funding priorities for 2023 include: o Organizations promoting screenings, early detection, treatment and/or continuity of care for cardiovascular, renal, respiratory or immunologic diseases and/or cancers. o Organizations establishing new partnerships and broader coalitions of community-based organizations or expanding existing partnerships with the intent of breaking down institutional silos and facilitating access to quality healthcare through inter-institutional collaboration. Organizational Criteria o To qualify for a Foundation grant, an organization is required to be a U.S.-based, nonprofit organization with a 501(c) designation or a public school, government entity or municipal institution that is eligible to accept tax-deductible, charitable contributions.
