Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 78/100 because this is a verified rolling local health-equity funding vehicle but with a modest $5,000 cap. N9+ Fit Score 15/100; the program is primarily suitable for community events and small health projects, not a meaningful device or platform acquisition. Publication is appropriate, but Atlas should not force N9+ fit or prioritize cold outreach solely for this program.
The Health Trust offers Community Grants on a rolling basis for agencies, events and projects that advance health equity in Silicon Valley. Requests may support annual fundraisers, health fairs and other community health projects that directly benefit residents of Santa Clara County and/or Northern San Benito County.
Grant requests may not exceed $5,000. Events must be held in Santa Clara County and/or Northern San Benito County, and projects must directly benefit residents of one or both eligible geographies. Nonprofit organizations must be tax exempt at both the federal and California state levels. Organizations may receive one Community Grant per fiscal year.
Requests must be submitted at least 60 days before the event or project start date. The Health Trust states that applicants can generally expect a response within 30 days. Because eligibility is tied to the applicant’s own event or project start date, there is no single calendar submission deadline.
Organizations with an active Health Partnership Grant or Health Equity Fund grant are not eligible to apply for a Community Grant. Requests are considered based on health equity impact, benefit to communities disproportionately affected by health or social inequities, community rapport, and the applicant’s history of Community Grant receipt and reporting.
The Health Trust does not typically fund nationally sponsored local events when most proceeds will not support local residents, or events whose proceeds will support academic or medical research. No mandatory match or cost share is stated on the current public application page.
Applications are submitted through The Health Trust’s online grant portal. New applicants must create an online account before accessing the Community Grant application. Questions may be directed to grants@healthtrust.org.
