Recognizing the challenges faced by regional non-profit organizations in securing funding for their philanthropic initiatives, the Foundation aims to bridge the gap through a streamlined and accessible grant opportunity.
Impact Grants are designed to provide funding opportunities, supporting non-profits seeking efficient and reliable support. Understanding many organizations operate on strict timelines and face limited options for funding, AMY Wellness Foundation is committed to making a positive difference in the communities through this initiative.
Key features of the Impact Grants include:
- Low-Stress Application Process: The Foundation understands the importance of minimizing the administrative burden on non-profit organizations. The application process has been re-designed to be low-stress, allowing applicants to focus on their mission rather than navigating complex paperwork.
- Quick Turnaround Time: Time is of the essence for many organizations, and the Impact Grants program reflects this urgency. Applicants can expect a swift turnaround time for funding decisions, providing the support they need.
- Health Priorities: The Foundation remains focused on supporting key health priorities identified by the community. Applications may be submitted for programs and initiatives supporting Mental Health, Food Security, and Housing for up to $10,000. Initiatives outside of those primary focus areas that are health related are eligible for up to $5,000. These focus areas aim to continue making meaningful impact on the community needs supported by the selected organizations.
