Announcing the 2027 Ever Grants

This year Ever funded hospitals and clinics through its first grant round. That round has now closed. Today we are opening the 2027 round, and widening it: there is now a grant at every size, from a USD 2,000 grant for a small clinic to a partnership of up to USD 3,000,000 that moves a whole hospital onto Ever, and three grants for a particular purpose beside them.

Our mission

Our mission is to establish decentralized infrastructure for patients' health data-sovereignty.

Good records, safe ordering, fair billing and referrals that arrive with the patient should not depend on where someone lives or how much their hospital can spend on software. Yet the hospitals and clinics that serve people with the least are usually the last to get them. They run on paper, on spreadsheets, or on systems they cannot afford to keep.

The grants exist to close that gap. They pay for the system and for the work of putting it to use, so a facility does not have to choose between going digital and caring for its patients.

Grants by size

The 2027 grants form a ladder of four steps. A facility applies for the step that matches what it runs today, and can move up in a later year.

In every grant, Ever sponsors the software and the implementation in full: set-up, the move from paper or the old system, training and support. Hardware is covered too, up to a cap for each grant, either bought by us or paid back against the facility's invoices.

Clinic starter grants

New for 2027, a clinic starter grant is worth USD 2,000 to 3,000 and is made for the smallest sites: a one-doctor or nurse-led clinic, a health centre or a primary care unit.

• Software and our team. medOS Lite set up for the clinic, covering outpatient visits, pharmacy, appointments and billing, with our team moving it off paper and training its staff online.
• Hardware, up to a cap. A tablet or computer and a printer, or a few months of internet.

Facility grants

A facility grant is worth up to USD 30,000 and brings one hospital or larger clinic onto Ever's hospital system:

• Software and our team. Ever medOS licences for the facility, with our team doing the set-up, the move from paper or the old system, staff training and support.
• Hardware, up to a cap. The computers, printers, scanners and network equipment the facility needs to run the system.

Network grants

New for 2027, a network grant is worth up to USD 300,000 and does the same for a group of facilities: a district, a public hospital group, or a public hospital with the clinics that refer to it.

It is mostly software, because most of the work of joining many sites is ours to do:

• Software and our team. Licences across every site, a rollout run by our team, referrals and a shared patient record between the facilities, and a country pack if the country does not have one yet.
• Hardware, up to a cap. Equipment for sites that have none, such as computers, printers and network links.

Flagship hospital partnerships

Also new for 2027, a flagship partnership is worth up to USD 3,000,000 and moves a large public or university hospital onto Ever, every department at once: registration and outpatients, wards, emergency, theatres, lab, imaging, pharmacy, billing and claims.

We will take on two or three a year. Each one needs a dedicated Ever team on site for the length of the project, and we would rather do a few well than many badly. We sponsor the software and the implementation in full, which is most of the value. Hardware is covered up to USD 100,000: servers, computers, printers, scanners and network equipment, bought by us or paid back against the hospital's invoices.

A partnership starts with an expression of interest, followed by a site assessment, a joint plan and agreement, and a go-live in planned phases.

Grants for a purpose

Beside the ladder are three grants that can be held together with any grant on it:

• Community health grants for primary care and outreach teams that care for people at home and in villages, with phones or tablets for staff and community health volunteers.
• Country pack grants for a ministry, university or local partner bringing Ever to a new country, paying for the local experts who check its language, payers, codes and national reports.
• Emergency response grants for facilities hit by a disaster, conflict or outbreak. These are read as they arrive rather than in the yearly round.

The amounts for these three will be posted on the grants page.

Who we want to hear from

Every grant is for health care that serves people with the least:

• Public facilities: government hospitals, district hospitals and health centres.
• Non-profit facilities: charity, community and faith-based hospitals and clinics.
• Rural and remote sites, where staff and equipment are hardest to come by.
• Facilities in low-income and lower-middle-income countries and in UN Least Developed Countries.

Ministries, provincial and district health offices, hospital groups and NGO programmes can apply for a network grant on behalf of the facilities they run. If you are unsure whether you qualify, apply anyway and tell us about your situation.

Your data stays yours

A grant does not change who owns the records. Each facility chooses where the system runs, including its own servers or a site with no internet connection. Standard FHIR and HL7 interfaces mean the records can always be moved, and the system can run beside an existing one rather than replacing it.

What comes next

Applications for the 2027 round are open now. The closing date and the number of grants will be posted on the grants page as soon as they are set.

We read every application, and we may call you to learn more about your patients and how you work today. We will share more as the round goes on.
