The Lewis-Clark Valley Healthcare Foundation has opened its Large Impact Grant Season.
Large Impact Grants are intended for requests of $25,000 to $100,000. The large Impact Grant application are available on the Foundation’s website at lewisclarkhealth.org. Impact Grant applications are due by July 31, 2023.
“In 2022, the Foundation awarded 15 Large Impact Grants totaling over $815,000 to area nonprofit agencies and this year we are looking forward to continue to offer funding to initiatives that meet the Foundation charitable purpose,” said Desiree Prohaska, Executive Vice President & Chief Wealth Management Officer of Idaho Trust Bank, Trustee of the Foundation.
Priority for these grants are given to applicants that demonstrate a commitment to long-term vision and projects that address the root causes that affect health, improve wellness, and help prevent disease. Grant applications can be for capital expenditures, operating expenses as well as for existing or new programs that are within the nine-county area.
The Lewis-Clark Valley Healthcare Foundation funds grants to promote the health, wellness, and
disease prevention of persons in a three-state, nine-county area, as follows: Clearwater, Idaho, Latah, Lewis and Nez Perce in Idaho; Asotin, Garfield and Whitman in Washington; and Wallowa in Oregon.
The Foundation’s Impact Grants will not fund endowments, scholarships, or fundraising events, or to cover operation deficits or the retirement of debt. The grants also won’t fund ongoing expenses being a single grant award or redistribution of the Foundation’s funds through sub grants. Multi-year grants also are excluded from eligibility.
Starting in August, a Board of Community Advisors to the Foundation will review the Impact Grant applications and make grant award recommendations to the Trustee. The Trustee will notify the organizations that are selected for funding prior to November 15, 2023
