Our Approach

The District seeks organizations that share our vision to support our residents in achieving their optimal health and wellness through education, prevention and access to basic health services.

We view funding as a partnership. We acknowledge that each community has different strengths and challenges, and we work to tailor our support accordingly. The Community Grants Program seeks innovative programs that:

·    Improve the health of our residents as measured by desired outcomes

·    Emphasize a preventive approach

·    Address health disparities

·    Leverage additional funding to support the program

·    Collaborate with other agencies or local government

What We Support

Every year the District Board identifies the most pressing community health needs and establishes funding priorities for the grant term. We do this through local reports and assessments and by participating in County-wide collaboratives and commissions.
