Barton Foundation Grants
Community Health Grants
The Barton Foundation Community Health Grant applications are now closed. Applicants will receive notification in the next few weeks.
Funding priority will be given to those organizations addressing our region's top three needs, as determined in our Community Health Needs Assessment Community Health Needs Assessment: access to healthcare, substance use and mental health, including pediatric mental health.
In order to serve as many organizations as possible, the maximum grant award is $10,000.
Applications will be reviewed in mid-summer by the Community Health Advisory Committee, comprised of community leaders, Barton Foundation board members, and non-profit stakeholders. If awarded a grant, please note there will be a mid-year and annual report due in April and September of 2022.
We look forward to reviewing your application and thank you for your work in the community. Grants will be awarded on or before August 20, 2021. If you have questions, please contact Chris Kiser, Executive Director, Barton Foundation, at 530.543.5612
COVID-19 Response Fund - having provided $420,000 in grants to over 6,000 families and individuals in our community suffering from the effects of food insecurity, the Barton Foundation's COVID-19 Response Fund has ceased operations effective May 31, 2021. The grants were made possible by the generosity of hundreds of Barton Foundation donors who played a major role in providing financial assistance to members of the South Lake Tahoe community who were disproportionately impacted by the economic consequences of the pandemic. A special thank you to LTVA, American Century, LTUSD, Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe, The Attic, Bread & Broth, the Coalition for the Homeless, and the hundreds of individuals' gifts which made this program possible.
Thank you for making a significant impact on our community!
