Civil Money Penalty Reinvestment Grant

This California Department of Public Health grant provides funding to improve the quality of life and care for residents of Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs). Eligible applicants—including businesses, nonprofits, public agencies, and tribal governments—may propose projects such as person‑centered care initiatives, infection‑control training, arts and engagement programs, and other resident‑focused activities.

The total pool of funding is $17.6 million, with the number and size of awards to be determined. • Eligible applicants: businesses, individuals, nonprofits, public agencies, tribal governments. • Eligible geography: applicants nationwide, but projects must involve California‑based SNFs. • Funding mechanism: reimbursement (post‑expense). • Maximum project period: 36 months. • Exclusions: pure research, capital projects, high‑cost tech, staff salary subsidies, duplicate CMS mandates.
