Community Partnership Fund

Through the Community Partnership Fund, Adventist HealthCare provides two types of funding opportunities:

• Programmatic Grants: typically ranging from $10,000-$100,000
• Event Sponsorship: up to $5,000

To be eligible for funding, requests must:

1. Originate from a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization

   • Capacity Building: Improve community health through collaborative partnerships, economic and workforce development, and advocacy

Priority is given to requests that:
