Key takeaways

  • The foundation funds health-related work in four stated focus areas: food insecurity, mental and behavioural health, substance use disorder and emerging health needs, and it also supports capacity building.
  • It does not fund grants to individuals, endowments, academic scholarships, indirect costs or major capital projects, so organisations seeking those should not apply.
  • About 8 in 10 of its grants to organisations fall between $5,000 and $38,000, with a median of $13,000, so a request near that typical band fits best.
  • Healthy Communities applications open in January, while Core Priorities is invitation-only with Letters of Interest beginning in October, so an unsolicited approach should go through the Healthy Communities window.
  • Its stated geographic focus is the counties listed, so an organisation working elsewhere should check fit with a Program Officer first, and statewide nonprofits are strongly encouraged to do so before applying; relationships also matter, since 51% of grant dollars to organisations in the filing went to organisations it had funded in the earlier filing.
