Summary
This grant opportunity is geared toward nonprofit organizations that serve community health needs. Funding is focused on programs that help fill gaps in healthcare provision — particularly in the wake of a hospital closure — making it well suited for projects that restore or expand critical local medical services. Eligible nonprofits must be tax‑exempt 501(c)(3) organizations, and the opportunity is not available to individuals, businesses, or colleges.
Grants are intended for programs or projects that address medical care infrastructure, staffing, training, outreach, or facility improvements. For example, funds may be used to hire clinical personnel, purchase or upgrade medical equipment, support public health outreach initiatives, or train health workers. Expressly does not fund non‑medical programs or general fundraising costs, and operating expenses unrelated to direct patient care may not be supported.
Award amounts generally go up to $30,000 per grant. The foundation is open to multi‑year support: if a project meets the right criteria, it may be funded for up to five years via annual installments. Although matching funds are not required, demonstrating that you have secured other sources of support can strengthen your proposal.
In evaluating applications, the foundation considers several criteria: the strength of community need, the potential benefit to target populations, how well the nonprofit has served its community historically, and whether the proposed project duplicates services already available. Organizations seeking funding should provide a clear project plan, a detailed budget, and proof of nonprofit status.
Once selected, grantees are expected to submit a final report accounting for how funds were used and what outcomes were achieved. Organizations that have received prior funding can apply again, provided they have satisfied any reporting requirements.
This grant program is ideal for nonprofits seeking to make a tangible, health-related impact in their community and to build or enhance medical capacity.
