Medica Foundation is one of the few that offers a simple grant program for up to $5,000 toward capital expenses. They are very responsive and easy to work with.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. We feel it is important to help programs outside the metro area meet the health needs of their communities.

Medica has a very liberal interpretation of "health", which is nice. I'm only familiar with their Core Mission Support grant application, which is pretty straightforward and uncomplicated.

A very helpful person called me back each time I left a message.

Your grant report essentially repeats several of the questions a grantee has already answered on the grant application , which is a little frustrating.
It's great that Medica understands that "health" has many different aspects. I applied on behalf of a human services crisis agency (domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, homelessness). We consider each of these to public health issues (among other things) - was wonderful that Medica agreed with us!

If you fit their mission and focus Medica is very willing to consider your needs. They have a $5,000 operating grant program that is very simple to apply for.

One of the few foundations that understands you don't have to have an application that takes 40 hours to complete to gather the information they need.
Keep doing what you are doing.
Keeps is simple.
