The Barton Foundation will be awarding $50,000 in grant funding to improve community health.

This annual grant cycle provides funding for programs and services that positively impact the health of the local community. Applications are being accepted through May 31.

Grant criteria and the application may be found online. For more information, contact Marty Chartraw at 530.543.5784.

The Barton Foundation’s community grants fund local programs that address the area’s most pressing health needs, as identified by Barton Health’s 2015 Community Health Needs Assessment: mental health, substance abuse, and access to healthcare services. Grant proposals addressing one or more of these top three issues will be prioritized. 

Local organizations including government agencies, nonprofits, and schools are encouraged to apply.
