An Assessment of New York Health Foundation 2007 Health Insurance Coverage Grants

This NYHealth special report, An Assessment of New York Health Foundation 2007 Health Insurance Coverage Grants, summarizes enrollment results, project deliverables, and overall project outcomes of a grant initiative that sought organizations across the State to develop interventions that would improve the State’s enrollment and reenrollment processes, and that would help increase health care coverage for vulnerable populations.

This initiative also aimed to expand private insurance coverage for the 1.6 million uninsured New Yorkers, at the time, who were not eligible for public coverage.

Although overall enrollment outcomes from the funded projects were disappointing, some of the deliverables that emerged from this cohort of grants are potentially informative to Federal health reform efforts. All 16 grants cited in this report offer lessons in grantmaking, as well as in the types of projects they undertook.
