The Lutheran Foundation focuses on building and maintaining community networks aimed at supporting the spiritual, mental, and physical well-being of vulnerable populations in northeast Indiana. It targets the root causes of health needs, with a special emphasis on mental and behavioral health and wellness.
The Community Grants program by The Lutheran Foundation seeks to foster community health by supporting organizations that provide care and support to the vulnerable sections of the community, such as the lonely, sick, poor, and hopeless. This program places a priority on projects that advocate for mental well-being, promote early screening, diagnosis, and treatment of mental and behavioral health issues, ensure access to care for uninsured or underinsured individuals, and invest in the development of resilience and self-worth among vulnerable individuals.
