2025 lift grants
our 2025 LIFT grant cycle opens July 1!
As a Foundation, grants are the most prolific way we advance our mission to improve health and well-being in our area.
We are pleased to share our three strategic priorities for the 2025 LIFT Grants: Access to Primary Care, Access to Behavioral Health, and the Well-being of Infants, Children, and Adolescents. We look forward to collaborating with organizations that support these areas of focus.
APPLICATION & GRANT ACCOUNT ACCESS
The Health Foundation utilizes online portals to manage active grants with current partners and to facilitate application processes for new LIFT Grant opportunities.
In 2025, we are transitioning to a new “Applicant and Grantee Portal” for our LIFT Grant and future grant opportunities. All grantseekers will need to use this new portal for 2025 LIFT Grant and future applications.
At the same time, grantees with active grants prior to 2025 will still need to use the Health Foundation’s “Legacy Grantee Portal” to submit reports and manage their grants.
