The Alexander Eastman Foundation is focused on health and community wellness. Its comprehensive interest extends to healthcare, mental health, dental care, developmental and rehabilitative services, health and wellness promotion, education, disease and accident prevention, nutrition, and wellness. The foundation aims to support the capital, special projects, and operations needs of qualifying organizations through grant support influenced by collaborative planning with local service providers.
The grant program by the Alexander Eastman Foundation is designed to address broad goals in health and community wellness, with a specific focus on health care access, mental health care access, obesity, and hunger based on recent community feedback. This program prioritizes education, family systems, and access by funding activities that provide health improvement information, support healthy lifestyles, strengthen family units, and expand healthcare access to those in financial need. Grants are aimed at supporting programs that serve the foundation's priority interests, particularly those that improve the health and well-being of the greater Derry area residents through a commitment to prevention, health promotion, and the education of both consumers and providers.
