Two Rivers Health & Wellness Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- If your work is in Northampton County and fits the foundation's health and wellness focus or its stated areas (maternal, infant and childcare, behavioural health, oral health, housing initiatives, homelessness and the elderly), it is worth approaching.
- Organisations that are not IRS-recognised 501(c)(3) public charities, or that want money for capital campaigns or building expansions, should not apply.
- Most grants fall in a typical band of $5,000 to $35,000, with a median of $13,000, so a request near that level fits, though the largest grant was $100,000 and the band is not a ceiling.
- Almost all grant dollars in the filing went to organisations the foundation had funded in one of the two earlier filings, so relationships matter, but an organisation that is new or inactive should send a Letter of Intent and wait for an invitation before submitting a full application.
- The annual process typically begins in August, with completed proposals due in October, so plan a method for measuring outcomes and a plan for sustaining the programme beyond foundation funding in advance.
