Grant Healthcare Foundation is dedicated to perpetuating the legacy of Grant Hospital of Chicago by enhancing the health of individuals in Chicago. They aim to back organizations that provide a variety of health services, focusing on the improvement of community health outcomes.
The Grant Healthcare Foundation offers financial support primarily for direct medical services, mental and substance abuse care, reproductive services, preventive programs, and expanding access to healthcare for underinsured populations. The foundation prioritizes programs that serve Chicago's south and west sides, increase healthcare access where barriers exist, employ innovative models with meaningful outcome measures, have strong leadership and broad community support, and engage in collaborations that amplify their impact. Most of their grants are for a one-year term, with multi-year funding being rare and contingent upon the necessity for project implementation and annual performance review.
