Grant applicants have a March 1 deadline to submit proposals for Board consideration

This is a friendly reminder that the current grant application cycle will close at 11:59 p.m. on March 1. This cut-off date was approved by the Desert Healthcare District & Foundation Board of Directors at its January 27 meeting. Please ensure all required materials are submitted by the deadline for your application to be considered this fiscal year.

If your proposal is not funded during this cycle, you will have the opportunity to apply again in the next fiscal year. The next application period will follow the District’s new strategic plan, which is currently in development. Additional information about the upcoming grant cycle and strategic priorities will be shared in the coming months.
