Details:
Each year, El Camino Healthcare District commits resources for community health promotion and disease prevention, particularly to support community members when they experience vulnerability and health challenges. Through the Community Benefit Program, grants and sponsorships are awarded to programs that meet specific health needs and serve individuals who live, work, or go to school in the District.
The primary distinction between the El Camino Health and El Camino Healthcare District Community Benefit Program is geography. District funds are restricted to serve only those individuals who live, work or go to school in the District’s boundaries. The District funds both Program Grants and Support Grants (up to $30,000 for agencies with an operating budget of less than $1.5M). El Camino Health funds Program Grants only. Program Grant amounts vary depending on community need and program scope.
- El Camino Healthcare District: Grant programs serving individuals who live, work, or go to school in Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, and/or parts of Cupertino should only apply for El Camino Healthcare District funding. Programs need not serve every city in the District.
- El Camino Health: El Camino Health’s service area includes the El Camino Healthcare District’s cities of Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Mountain View and Sunnyvale as well as other parts of northern Santa Clara County, including Los Gatos, Saratoga, Campbell, San Jose, Cupertino and Santa Clara.
