The mission of Qlarant Foundation is to improve the health of individuals and communities. Founded more than 45 years ago, this not-for-profit organization focuses on improving healthcare and human services. By reinvesting in people and resources, Qlarant Foundation supports its clients' missions without the influence of stockholders.
The Qlarant Foundation, acting as the mission arm of Qlarant, provides charitable grants to nonprofit organizations aiming to enhance healthcare for individuals and communities, with a keen emphasis on health equity. These grants, which can reach up to $50,000 annually per organization, support projects that improve access to and the quality of health services. The foundation prioritizes projects with the potential to significantly impact health outcomes and access to care, especially for the uninsured and underserved populations. Grant awards are typically for one year, with the possibility of additional funding in subsequent years, based on the achievement of high-impact results in service, demonstration, education, and clinical program areas. A special focus is given to pulmonary issues through the Dr. Sheldon Goldgeier Award, which honors the memory of a long-time board member. The foundation emphasizes funding programs that show clear goals, improved healthcare quality, better access to services for unserved and underserved populations, and measurable outcomes.
