Overview of Grantmaking Guidelines VNA Foundation awards grants to support nonprofit organizations that provide home- and community-based health services to medically underserved populations.
Priority will be given to organizations with operating budgets of $30,000,000 or less. The majority of our grants are made to organizations serving Cook County. Organizations in McHenry, Kane and Will are also eligible for funding, if serving HRSA-designated medically underserved populations in Health Workforce Shortage Areas .
Our extremely limited funds mean that, at present, we are generally unable to fund in Lake and DuPage counties except under special circumstances. We will consider funding program, operating, and capital grants, including indirect costs and salaries that support core staff. Generally, only grant requests of $40,000 or more will be considered, unless smaller grants are required due to organization size or other identifiable factors.
We prefer that the requested grant amounts be rounded to the nearest $500. For more information about our funding guidelines, visit our FAQ page. We approve and disburse grants 4 times per year.
