Since 1996, Sequoia Healthcare District's Grants program has been funding local nonprofits that provide health-related services in southern San Mateo County.

Introduction

Sequoia Healthcare District’s Grants program provides funding to local community and school-based programs that promote our mission to enhance the lives and health of District residents. The program is organized into 2 main funding categories: community-based and school-based.

Community-based

Community-based grants cover 6 main priorities. Priorities are identified based on the current health needs of the community.

School-based

School-based grants focus on health and wellness programs that address four main priorities identified within local school districts in our catchment area.
