The 2025 Jeffress Trust Awards Program, funded by the Thomas F. and Kate Miller Jeffress Memorial Trust and managed by Bank of America, supports initiatives that address systemic barriers and root causes of health inequities in Virginia.

The program emphasizes community engagement, collaboration, and advancing actionable research to promote health equity in the state. Eligible projects include policy, systems, and environmental change strategies, program or practice analysis, and research focusing on social determinants of health. Proposals must outline how community members are authentically engaged in leadership and design.
