Health & Human Services
The Health and Human Services program partners with fund advisors and utilizes narrow field of interest funding to meet pressing needs in the community related to health, well-being and access to services.
Narrow field of interest funds are typically legacy endowment funds that are set up in a loved one’s memory for a specific cause, but not a specific grantee. With the help of the Health & Human Services Working Group, program staff evaluates nonprofits doing good work in the areas specified by the fund agreements and makes grants from the growth in the distributable portion of these endowments to honor the donor’s legacy.
Potential grantees are selected to apply for limited funding opportunities by invitation only based on the funds available and funding criteria established by donors. Because grants are made only from the growth in the distributable portions of endowment funds based on market activity, grants are not made on a yearly cycle in this program area.
Organizations seeking funding opportunities are encouraged to complete a BetterGiving portrait. Click here to visit the Nonprofit Partnerships page for more information.
