How to Apply

2027 lift grants

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 2027 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.

Our “Applicant and Grantee Portal,” introduced in 2025, remains the platform for all LIFT Grant and future applications. Returning applicants should already be familiar with this system.

Technical Support Please email r.oakley@hchealthfnd.org with technical questions regarding the grant process or the application software.
