Our funding emphasizes health promotion and encourages innovation and collaboration.
Health First grants drive progress toward improving the health of individuals and communities in northern Arizona. We place a strong emphasis on sustained solutions and promoting healthy lifestyles, prioritizing initiatives to enhance and maintain overall health and well-being.
We seek to fund programs that simultaneously address two of the three priority health needs in our region: improving mental health, preventing and managing chronic disease, and expanding access to health care. Health First Foundation will invest in programs that address these health priorities while keeping in mind the impact that social factors — like education, community environments that support healthy lifestyles, social support systems, and financial stability — have on health and well-being in our communities. We're looking to fund sustainable, innovative solutions that empower individuals and enhance overall health and well-being. Our grant opportunities are available to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations with programs serving people in one or more of these counties: Apache, Coconino, Mohave, Navajo, and Yavapai. A letter of intent to apply is due by January 10, 2024. Please complete the form below to receive additional information about our grants and the application timeline.
