Grants
The Buhl Regional Health Foundation is a health care conversion foundation. We support the important work of non-profit agencies that strive to meet the needs of residents impacted by health-related needs in the greater Sharon regional area. We do this by listening, partnering, and providing resources.
Grant Proposal Process
We accept Letters of Inquiry (LOI) for grants twice per year. All LOI’s received for that grant cycle are reviewed and we then decide if a program or project is a good potential match to the Foundation’s mission and funding priorities. Those that are determined to be a good fit are invited to submit a full proposal through the online grant system. Our Board of Directors considers grant proposals for approval at two meetings per year in March and September. Board action occurs after proposals have been reviewed and recommended by the staff and Grants Committee.
