Kaiser Permanente Community Fund


Call for Proposals is now open for 2010

We’re pleased to be able to offer opportunities in 2010 for both capacity-building and implementation grants.

  • Capacity-Building Grants are more appropriate for organizations that are new to the health field; are not yet able to clearly articulate how their work would improve community health; need time to develop relationships with other partners; and/or need to engage with their community to develop their implementation strategies and goals.
  • Implementation Grants represent the types of projects that are more fully conceived (and in many cases, have already been launched).  Implementation Grants are more appropriate for organizations (usually collaborations of several organizations) that are ready to implement a defined plan of action, with a clear expectation of goals and outcomes.

A more detailed explanation of each track is provided in our Frequently Asked Questions:

Applying for a grant is a two-step process. If you determine that a match exists between your project idea and the KPCF funding priorities, the first step is to submit a letter of inquiry (LOI).

Here’s what to do:

  • First, search by ZIP code to determine if your project will provide benefit in the KPCF funding region. To be eligible to apply for a grant from the Kaiser Permanente Community Fund, the service area of your project must fall within the geographic region roughly spanning from Longview, Washington to Salem, Oregon and portions of the Willamette Valley. Use the search tool below to determine if your project falls within the KPCF funding region.

Enter the 5-digit ZIP code for your project:

If your search reveals a match, download and complete the request for proposals and the cover sheet:
