Funding Opportunity 2024
The Project
The 2024 Responsive Grants Program will prioritize projects that are experiencing funding gaps due to state budget cuts that impact health and quality of life for Californians.
Funding
Responsive grants are available to qualifying nonprofit organizations and public agencies that serve people living in Sierra Health Foundation’s 26-county funding region. Sierra Health Foundation has committed a total of $400,000 to this program in 2024, with grants of up to $10,000 available to support projects and activities that advance health and racial equity and improve health and quality of life.
Eligibility
Sierra Health Foundation will fund nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are designated a 509(a)(1) or 509 (a)(2) organization or tribal or urban Indian entities. Proposed projects or activities must benefit people living in one or more of the 26 counties of Sierra Health Foundation’s funding region.
Public agencies and fiscal sponsors for entities that are not qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations are eligible to apply. Fiscal sponsors may apply on behalf of more than one organization or collaborative group.
