The Humboldt Health Foundation Community Health Grant is designed to enhance both the physical and mental well-being of Humboldt County residents. It specifically aims to improve health outcomes for those facing social or economic disadvantages, supports access and service delivery for underserved and marginalized populations, and focuses on projects with a plan for lasting impact or sustainability post-funding. Key areas of support include improving health and wellbeing among Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and those facing systemic health and wellness barriers, with a particular interest in serving communities such as LGBTQI+, Eastern Humboldt, Eel River Valley, Veterans, and those affected by Mental and Behavioral Health issues and Substance Use Disorders. The grant emphasizes programs that are preventive, foster community collaboration on health issues, and are closely connected to the communities they serve. Funding amounts typically range from $5,000 to $8,000, with a maximum grant award of $15,000.
