Funding Priorities
The Mt Sinai Health Foundation (formerly Mt Sinai Health Care Foundation) improves the health of Greater Cleveland by investing resources, convening, and collaborating in four focus areas:
- Equitable Health Outcomes - Supporting health promotion, disease prevention, and early intervention projects aimed at Greater Cleveland's most vulnerable families, with emphasis on projects that can reach large populations through existing community infrastructure
- Health of the Jewish Community - Improving the physical and mental health of the Jewish community, often in collaboration with the Jewish Federation of Cleveland
- Academic Medicine and Bioscience - Strengthening Cleveland's prominence in medical education and biomedical science, perpetuating Mt Sinai Medical Centre's leadership in these areas
- Health Policy - Supporting strategic initiatives that maximise government effectiveness in meeting safety-net obligations
The foundation particularly prioritises proposals focusing on primary prevention and early intervention.

Application Process & Timeline
The Board of Directors meets quarterly. Application deadlines typically fall on the first day of each quarter: January, April, July, and October. When deadlines fall on weekends or holidays, proposals are due on the first business day following.
The foundation strongly recommends contacting a programme officer prior to submitting a grant request to help focus requests and ensure alignment with grantmaking guidelines. Applications are submitted through an online grant portal at mtsinaifoundation.org/apply/.
The foundation acknowledges receipt of proposals within two weeks following each deadline and advises applicants if additional information is needed.
