Government agencies and faith-based organizations may also be eligible if the proposed program is secular and serves the broader community.

The grant process begins with submitting a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) through our website. The LOI allows us to learn about your organization and proposed project before you invest time in a full application. If your LOI aligns with our funding priorities, you'll be invited to submit a complete grant application. Visit our Grants & Funding page for detailed instructions and current deadlines.

Primary and preventive healthcare services
Mental and behavioral health programs

Services for seniors, children, and vulnerable populations

Grant amounts vary based on the project scope and organizational capacity. We offer grants ranging from small capacity-building awards to larger multi-year program grants.
