Health Foundation of La Porte (HFL) is dedicated to the mission of empowering La Porte County residents to live healthy and well.
Health and wellness are at the core of HFL’s work. For HFL:
- Health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (World Health Organization).
- Wellness is the “active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence.” Wellness has six dimensions: emotional, occupational, physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual (National Wellness Institute).
Funding Information

- Grants up to $10,000 have a simpler application form and reporting requirements to align with the amount requested (versus Grants of $10,001 to $25,000 or Grants over $25,000). Grant requests are accepted for proposals that address HFL’s strategic priorities of Healthy Children, Healthy Living, and Healthy Minds, as well as for Healthy La Porte grants. Healthy La Porte grants meet community health and wellness needs that fall outside of HFL’s strategic priorities and demonstrate a connection to HFL’s mission and vision.
