Our goal is to invest in the collective vision of what healthy communities within our region can and should be. With health equity as a driving force, we fund organizations that focus on helping our communities improve health outcomes and allow for its residents to live full, healthy and happy lives.
By being community-embedded and community-informed, we aim to be both responsive and strategic to the needs we hear and learn about. As part of our Strategic Plan, our grantmaking strategy drives our giving: General Operating, Strategic Health Initiatives, and Capacity Building.
For the 2019 grant cycle, applicants may apply for one-year General Operating Support or Project Support grants. Learn about this year’s grant cycle here.
