Seed Grant ProgramThrough our Seed Grant Program, SMI assists in the development of new Street Medicine programs in communities in the United States. Programs awarded Seed Grants facilitate and enhance the direct provision of health care to the unsheltered homeless where they live by receiving expert training, guidance, and financial support to develop and grow their own Street Medicine programs. The Street Medicine Institute is pleased to announce the opening of its 2026 Seed Grant award process!
SMI’s goal is to assist early stage street medicine programs in the United States – particularly in areas not currently served by street medicine – advance toward a more sustainable level of operation. Supported by the generosity of the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation, two successful grantees will each receive an award valued at over $14,000 to include:
The SMI consultation will include one day on-site in the grantee’s community, along with up to 8-10 additional hours of telephone or video call support throughout the grant year. Awardees are encouraged to attend the full International Street Medicine Symposium and the Street Medicine 101 workshop as part of their consultative process. Grant applications are due by February 2, 2026 at 5 PM Pacific. Click below to read more about the award, review applicant criteria, and submit a Seed Grant application.
