Categories
The Healthy Communities Initiative is open to the following categories of projects:
- Health and wellness projects directed at an organization’s clients or communities served
- Capacity building projects that enhance the effectiveness of an organization’s internal operations.
- Spiritual and pastoral care projects that provide support to clients at particularly difficult times of need.
Funding Information
- An organization may request funding up to $25,000. The maximum request from a single organization is $25,000, regardless of whether it requests funding for one or multiple projects. In formulating the request, please keep in mind that the Foundation anticipates that most funding awards will be less than $25,000.
- Grantees must expend grant funds in accordance with approved grant budgets between April 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023.

The intent of this Initiative is to elicit proposals that address a wide range of health and wellness and spiritual and pastoral care issues, as well as capacity building opportunities to strengthen an organization’s operations.
Eligibility Criteria
- This funding opportunity is only available to organizations that provide programming in the Foundation’s service area of Barbour, Lewis, Randolph, Upshur, and Webster counties. An eligible organization does not have to be physically located in one of these counties, but it must submit a proposal requesting funding for a project in one or more of the Foundation’s counties. The funding cannot be used to support project activities in counties outside the region.
