Projects We Will Consider Funding

Projects that include direct service provision, prevention education, and/or community education.

Demonstration projects (designed to be replicated by other charitable service providers); pilot projects (which may result in new and better ways in which to provide charitable services); and collaborative projects between two or more organizations.

Research studies and capital needs directly tied to charitable projects in the Foundation's four areas of interest and which will strongly impact the communities we serve.

Renewal grants for two years following the initial grant, as deemed appropriate.  Thereafter, the Foundation expects the organization to continue the project with funds from other sources or to absorb it into its operating budget.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Periodically, the Foundation may announce funding initiatives, possibly in conjunction with other charitable funding organizations.  In these cases, the Foundation will publish a Request for Proposal with specific guidelines and deadlines.

• The Foundation will also occasionally make Challenge Grants, whereby the recipient charitable organization will be required to raise funds from other sources in order to receive a matching gift from Mountainside Health Foundation.
