Superior HealthPlan Community Grant Program

The Superior HealthPlan Community Grant Program provides annual funding to support community-based organizations across Texas working to improve Non-Medical Drivers of Health (NMDOH), often referred to as Social Determinants of Health. Administered by Superior HealthPlan, a managed care organization serving Medicaid members in Texas, the grant program emphasizes projects that enhance conditions influencing health outcomes beyond clinical settings. This funding opportunity is structured to address essential community needs through focused investments in housing, food access, and health literacy. Applicants must submit a fully completed application by March 31, 2026, using the online submission platform. The program is structured as an annual grant cycle, with selected awardees notified by the tenth business day in April. Each grantee will receive a fixed award amount of $10,000. Funding cannot be used to cover staff salaries or fringe benefits. All applicants must serve Medicaid populations in Texas and demonstrate service delivery within the state. Organizations that received a Superior HealthPlan grant or sponsorship in the past 12 months are ineligible to apply in the current cycle. Additionally, applicants must provide all required post-selection documentation by April 30, 2026, to maintain eligibility for funding. The grant prioritizes projects in three defined focus areas. Under Housing Stability and Support, eligible proposals may include programs offering utility assistance, emergency shelter, home repairs, pest control, rental deposits, or housing application fee support. For Food Security and Nutrition, allowable initiatives include community food pantries, mobile or congregate meal services, home food delivery for homebound individuals, and emergency food assistance. The Health Care Access and Literacy focus area supports activities such as health literacy workshops, transportation vouchers for medical and social service needs, dental care access days for adults with Medicaid, and the provision of non-clinical assistive devices like fall detection systems and smart monitoring tools. All funded organizations are required to host a follow-up site visit by December 15 to demonstrate the utilization and impact of awarded funds. Documentation requirements include a signed agreement, W-9, and vendor forms, all due by April 30, 2026. Organizations are also expected to claim their profile on the FindHelp webpage if applicable. Award selection is conducted by the Superior HealthPlan Grant Committee based on predefined criteria. The program does not require a financial match and supports services exclusively for Medicaid-eligible individuals residing in Texas. By supporting programs that bridge gaps in housing, nutrition, and healthcare navigation, the Superior HealthPlan Community Grant Program seeks to address systemic health disparities and improve outcomes for vulnerable populations. The fixed annual award structure, clearly defined eligibility parameters, and focused application review process make this grant accessible and impactful for a wide range of community organizations committed to improving health equity across Texas.
