The Patron Saints Foundation is a private foundation that provides grants to public charities aiming to improve the health of individuals residing in the West San Gabriel Valley. They focus on health care programs that align with the moral and religious teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Patron Saints Foundation Grants program prioritizes funding for healthcare projects in the West San Gabriel Valley, with a particular emphasis on Community Health Services, including direct services like primary care, dental, and mental health services. The broad goals of the grant program are to support projects in several categories, with priority given to those that offer direct health services, education in community health care, equipment and supplies, capital expenditures, and medical research. Grant proposals are evaluated based on their health care components, community impact, and the efficient and effective use of grant funds. Grants typically range from $15,000 to $25,000, but larger or smaller amounts may be considered. Funding is primarily awarded for program grants and may cover general operating expenses related to the proposed project, with general support grants evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Priority is given to initiatives that have already secured financial backing and present a clear and specific funding proposal that is critical to the project's overall success.
