NIHB Funding Opportunity: Vaccine Event Funding 2023-2024

With support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), NIHB is offering up to $45,000 in sponsorship funds for Tribal health organizations to host up to three vaccination events in your community. These events must feature COVID-19 vaccinations; however other vaccines may also be offered and promoted.

Funding can cover non-clinical costs associated with the event. Some examples of what we can fund include (but are not limited to):

  • Meeting space rentals
  • Advertising for the event
  • Event set up
  • Incentives for attendees and event swag (limited value per person)
  • Event administration staff salaries

NIHB will also provide Act of Love Kits for you to distribute to attendees.

Requests will be accepted on a rolling basis in the order received for as long as funding is available.
