Tips for Applicants

As a small health-focused foundation with international operations, they prioritize evidence-based programs with measurable child health outcomes. Focus applications on pneumonia treatment, oxygen access, or maternal-child health in LMIC contexts. Demonstrate alignment with their six-capability scaling framework and show pathways to sustainability beyond grant funding.

Giving Philosophy

FREO2 operates through an 'Oxygen as a Service' model, partnering with rural Ugandan hospitals and healthcare facilities to provide sustainable oxygen solutions. They value technology-driven approaches that build local capacity and shift community perceptions about oxygen treatment, working to create lasting healthcare infrastructure in low-resource settings.
