2025-2026 Healthy Together Now Funding Available

Healthy Together Now (HTN) promotes prevention activities for all ages targeting marginalized populations. Community organizations can apply for funding in Mental Well-Being, Healthy Eating, Tobacco Prevention & Reduction and Physical Activity. 

The Process

The HTN Provincial Funding Guidelines provide an overview of the program and describe what is eligible for funding. 

Projects that address the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) and a Health Equity Approach in their project will receive priority for funding. To learn more about the Social Determinants of Health & Health Equity, watch this video:

• Health Inequalities in Canada – Public Health Agency of Canada
• Inégalités en santé au Canada – Agence de la santé publique du Canada

The social determinants of health describe the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age – such as housing, food, income, natural and built environments, social safety net and social inclusion. Using a Health Equity approach in your HTN project will seek to remove unfair and avoidable barriers to heath for priority populations.

There are two Interlake-Eastern RHA HTN intakes each year; Spring and Fall. 

The HTN SPRING Intake: District Community Model 

• The district model operates with eighteen community clusters. Partnerships are essential for funding.  
• Find your HTN Community Meeting which will bring individuals and groups together to use allotted funding. Meetings scheduled from March 10-21, 2025. Register with your Interlake-Eastern RHA community contact to attend a community meeting. Do not apply before this step.
• Use this Interlake-Eastern RHA HTN Community Check Sheet to ensure eligibility.
• Complete the Online Application Form in consultation with the HTN Community Contact.
• Successful projects have one year for completion and a monitoring form.

The HTN FALL Intake: Regional Model

• Projects are evaluated and funds are awarded regionally, without community meetings. 
• Schedule a pre-consultation meeting from Sept 8-26, 2025 with your Interlake-Eastern RHA community contact before applying.  
• Connect with community partners and use the Interlake-Eastern RHA Building a Strong document (available in summer 2025) to address health barriers for priority populations and consider social determinants of health. Complete the on-line application form.
• Successful projects have one year for completion and a monitoring form.
• HTN is a community-led grassroots program to help prevent chronic diseases in Manitoba. The program is coordinated by the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority (RHA) and supported by the Province of Manitoba, Mental Health, Wellness and Recovery/Health Promotion and Wellness Branch.
