For the health of everyone in our community
In an effort to positively impact the health of everyone in our community Barton Health is providing grant funds to programs and organizations that benefit those populations that are underserved and/or will have the greatest impact on the health of our community at large.
In this grant cycle will be considering programs that address our community’s most pressing health needs as identified by Barton’s 2012 Community Health Needs Assessment*. In order of priority they are;
- Substance abuse & tobacco use
- Access to healthcare services
- Mental Health
In addition, the following factors will be considered when reviewing applications;
- Priority will be given to programs aimed at breaking cycles of negative behavior for people up to 26 years old
- The educational benefit of the project/program
- The long-term impact of the project/program
- Is the program innovative vs. duplicative of existing programs?
- Does the project/program inspire collaboration?
- The need of the population served and the cost per person served
The objective is to fund projects that serve a large subset of our community. We generally give to between 5-10 organizations so keep that in mind when determining the amount of your grant request.
Barton Health Grant proposals are reviewed by the Barton Community Advisory Committee and the final grant recipients will be approved by the Barton Health Board of Trustees. Funding for Barton Health Grants is provided by Barton Health through a gift from the Barton Foundation. The total grant amount available for 2013 is set at a maximum of $25,000.
