Grants for Facilities That Advance Local Health and Wellness in Indiana (USA)
GrantID: 74155
Grant Funding Amount Low: $50,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $250,000
Summary
This grant offers substantial funding—typically ranging from $50,000 up to $250,000, and occasionally more—to support nonprofit-led capital projects that enhance community health infrastructure. The intent is to foster sustainable, long-lasting improvements in well-being by aiding with construction, renovation, equipment purchase, or land acquisition tied to health-focused facilities and services.
Eligible applicants are 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations with at least two years of financial history, serving communities within Indiana. Projects must directly serve those communities and align with local health assessment priorities. Joint efforts or collaborative partnerships are encouraged, and projects over $250,000 should include community investment—often demonstrating that at least 10% of total project funding has already been secured from other sources.
Funds may be used for tangible, capital-related expenses only—such as building improvements, installation of major equipment, or property acquisition—rather than for operations, debt reduction, program events, or administrative overhead . Applicants must submit a letter of inquiry, which is reviewed on a rolling basis. Approved inquiries lead to full proposals requiring detailed budgets, financial statements, contractor bids or appraisals, and additional documentation based on project size.
The selection process prioritizes projects that can demonstrate long-term impact, broad community support, fiscal responsibility, operational capacity, and alignment with assessments of local health needs. Recipients typically include capital partnerships between nonprofits and health systems, aimed at improving access, expanding service availability, or upgrading health-related infrastructure.
In essence, this grant provides significant, purpose-driven capital funds—up to a quarter-million dollars—to eligible nonprofits in specified Indiana counties for infrastructure projects tied to health equity and community wellness. It emphasizes rigorous planning, sustainability, partnership, and leveraging local engagement to maximize impact.
