Funded by: The California Wellness Foundation
Deadline: Ongoing
Summary: The California Wellness Foundation works to improve the health of the people of California by making grants for health promotion, wellness education, and disease prevention. Beginning July 1, 2001, the foundation will accept requests for funding in eight priority areas: diversity in the health professions, environmental health, healthy aging, mental health, teenage pregnancy prevention, violence prevention, women’s health, and work and health. The foundation also has a special projects fund to respond to opportunities that fit its mission but are outside the established priority areas.
The foundation will emphasize grants for core operating support as a means of striking a balance between project grants and funding for its grantees’ core activities. Organizations applying for core operating support do not have to present new or innovative ideas or propose expansions of existing programs in order to receive funding. Requests for funding for specific projects are also welcome. Grants are not generally awarded for annual fund drives, building campaigns, major equipment, or biomedical research. The foundation typically provides funding only to nonprofit 501©(3) organizations or government agencies.
