The mission focuses on promoting a healthier community in Fort Lawn, Great Falls, and Lancaster County by working alongside community members toward common goals. The foundation aims to foster positive change through collaboration with nonprofit partners, focusing on leveraging community strengths and transforming challenges into opportunities for positive community development.
The Healthy Community Grant program accepts applications year-round and is designed to support organizations that contribute to the health of the community. Applicants must go through several steps before being invited to apply, including attending a workshop, understanding specific Healthy Community Indicators, and having an exploratory meeting, culminating in a multi-stage application process (Pre-Proposal, Letter of Inquiry, and Full Proposal). The grant encourages multi-sector collaboration, planning, and outcome-focused initiatives, targeting projects that build on community assets or propose innovative solutions to community challenges.
