Community Engagement Grants
Community Engagement Grants are one-time*, discretionary grants available to support nonprofit programs and projects that improve the health status of the people living within the Foundation’s service area. Requests must proactively address community health needs, encourage physical activity and wellness, increase health awareness and knowledge, or provide public access to critical health resources. The Foundation prioritizes requests that are collaborative and community driven. Nonprofits are encouraged to submit requests that strategically utilize innovative approaches to sustainably improve the community’s long-term health. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis starting April 2023 and reviewed until funds are exhausted. Contingent on the availability of funds, Community Engagement Grant awards typically range between $500 and $5000. Applications require 30 days for processing.
*If funded, a maximum of one grant can be awarded to an eligible applicant between April 2023 to March 31st, 2024, or until funds are exhausted.
