Details:
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.
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).
HFL makes grants to advance their strategic priorities of Healthy Children, Healthy Living, and Healthy Minds. They make Healthy La Porte grants to respond to community needs outside of their strategic priorities that demonstrate a connection to their mission and vision. HFL also funds efforts to strengthen nonprofit organizations in La Porte County through Healthy Partners grants, and they work to ensure their community has a safe, manageable, and efficient program to help community members survive cardiac arrest through their When Seconds Count – AED Initiative. Additionally, HFL makes grants to respond to emergencies that affect the health and wellness of La Porte County residents, such as the case with HFL’s COVID-19 Emergency Grants.
