The Health Foundation welcomes ideas from the community for projects and programs. The likelihood of being funded depends on how well the project corresponds to our priorities. If you have a project you are considering asking us to fund, our staff welcomes the opportunity to consult with you and clarify our criteria. Please contact Shelly Stolarczyk-George, our Grants Manager, or the Program Officer in the focus area your project corresponds to for more information.

The Foundation concentrates most of its efforts and grantmaking on four areas of concern:

• Community Primary Care
• School-Aged Children's Healthcare
• Substance Use Disorders
• Severe Mental Illness

In select cases, the foundation invests in projects that fall outside of these four areas. These other health-related grants are an important part of our community health development activities.

Grantee-initiated requests are processed according to the following flowchart:
