General Grant Information:
St. Luke’s Foundation is committed to our mission of strengthening the health of our community through vital support of health related projects and education through three different funding opportunities:
Major Grants for Health Related Projects
Health Education Grants
The Lois Jean Roberts Nursing Scholarship Program
We seek proposals for projects and programs where a moderate amount of money can have a significant impact on a local health related issue and we have a preference for partnering with other funders and organizations on an identified community health need.
Our General Guidelines
-
Grants are only awarded to local non-profit organizations for programs and projects benefitting the residents of Whatcom County.
-
Programs or projects for which funds are requested must be in response to a documented community need, not solely an organizational need.
- Applicants should demonstrate coordination and partnering with other community organizations and funders.
-
Activities or projects which have been completed or are under way are not eligible.
-
No funds will be authorized for fees payable to fund raising counsel.
In general we do not award grants:
- to support general and ongoing operating or administrative expenses
- to retire debt
- for completed projects
- for projects that are limited to religious purposes
- for scholarships and fellowships to individuals (except for Lois Roberts Nursing Scholarships)
- for lobbying or influencing elections or legislation
