Las Subvenciones Definidas por el Solicitante (ADG) de Health Forward se conceden al margen de las Solicitudes de Propuestas anuales de la Fundación. Las ADG se revisan y conceden mensualmente y permiten a las organizaciones definir sus propias necesidades inmediatas de subvención en relación con la misión de Health Forward. Las organizaciones pueden solicitar una ADG una vez al año y tienen un límite de $75.000. En 2015, Health Forward concederá un total de $4,1 millones en ADG.
"Estamos orgullosos de apoyar el trabajo que estas organizaciones están haciendo para eliminar las barreras a la atención sanitaria para las poblaciones más vulnerables en nuestra área de servicio", dijo Bridget McCandless, M.D., Health Forward Presidente/CEO.
