Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg

• The Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg prioritises South St. Petersburg and funds community-driven work on racially equitable health outcomes, social determinants of health, nonprofit capacity-building and systemic change, so grant writers should check their project sits within that place-based, health-equity remit before applying.
• Most grants are modest: about 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $2,500 and $100,000, with a median grant of $9,500, so a request in that range is realistic, even though the largest grant has reached about $315,000.
• Funding requests are accepted each month and close on the last day of the month, and its Capacity Building programme requires registering in the Fluxx grants portal, with parts of the application completable by video, in person or Zoom; other programmes' application methods vary.
• The Foundation holds supportive events before grant opportunities are released so community members can ask questions, which suggests it is worth engaging with these before applying.
• Only 22% of its grant dollars went to organisations also funded in its two previous filings, which suggests it is not simply repeating support to the same small group of grantees.
