To be eligible for funding by The Health Foundation, grant proposals must be:

• Related to health, which may be broadly defined to include social, behavioral, environmental, and other dimensions beyond the absence of illness
• For a program in the Foundation's 20-county service area
• Sponsored by a non-profit agency [501(c)(3)] or governmental or educational organization

It should be noted that the Foundation does not normally fund capital campaigns, annual fund-raising campaigns, endowments, event sponsorships, clinical research, scholarships, lobbying, media-based programs or campaigns, political campaign activities, or direct financial subsidy of health services to individuals or groups.
