Funding Requests

As an organization, JSI is deeply committed to improving the health of individuals and communities worldwide. Our focus is on achieving change in communities and in health systems by working in partnership with government agencies and local nongovernmental and civil society organizations. We are not, however, a funding organization. JSI receives funding from donors to carry out specific public health-related projects.
