The Lewis-Clark Valley Healthcare Foundation’s Fast-Track Grant season opens tomorrow (Sat), March 1st.
The Fast-Track Grant is a quick turnaround grant between $2,500 and $10,000 that is awarded to support organizations and efforts that promote the health, wellness, or disease prevention of persons in the Foundation’s Service Area, which includes nine regional counties: Nez Perce, Latah, Clearwater, Idaho, and Lewis counties in Idaho; Asotin, Garfield and Whitman counties in Washington; and Wallowa county in Oregon.
Fast-Track grants are intended for small, health and wellness focused nonprofits with annual operating budgets of under $250,000 that are serving the most rural communities. Funds can be used to support programs and projects, capital expenses, capacity building, or general operating costs. Last year, the Foundation awarded 51 Small Fast-Track Grant awards totaling $390,855.
Organizations can apply for one Fast-Track Grant per year per purpose. The Foundation’s Board of Community Advisors review the grant applications and make grant-award recommendations to the foundation’s Trustee. Funds will be awarded on a monthly basis until the Fast-Track Grant funds are exhausted. The Fast-Track Grant application is available on the Foundation’s website here.
The Lewis-Clark Valley Healthcare Foundation was established in 2017 by then Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden as part of the sale of St. Joseph Regional Medical Center by Ascension Health to RCCH Healthcare Partners. Idaho Trust Bank is the Trustee of the Foundation.
