Health Grants Program

Community Health Alliance’s Health Grants Program is another way we work with our donors to advance healthy lives in western Montana. Our Health Grants Program provides focused support of health-related projects for nonprofit organizations and educational institutions.

Two cycles are available per year. Our spring cycle opens mid-March with a June award date. Our fall cycle opens mid-September with a December award date.

The current cycle is now closed. The next cycle will be in Spring 2025. Funding in the fall 2024 cycle was available in the following categories:
