Overview

The Mabee Foundation grants are designed as challenge grants to encourage organizations to raise the necessary funds to complete their projects, focusing on construction, renovation, and the purchase of major medical equipment. These grants cover up to 20% of a project's total costs, with a maximum amount of $2,000,000. To retain the grant, recipients must meet the funding challenge within a year of the award and commence construction within two years. The grant is paid once the challenge is satisfied and construction has begun.
