Reid Health

The Grant Process

As a not-for-profit hospital, Reid is committed to giving back to the communities we serve. The community benefit grant process is a means for Reid to establish community partners in other organizations who are working toward common goals for the betterment of society.

Grant applications will be accepted from organizations which are qualified 501(c)(3) organizations and other organizations recognized by the IRS as those to which gifts are tax deductible. No grants are awarded to organizations that discriminate as to race, gender, sexual preference, age, disability, creed, or ethnic group.

To be eligible for a community benefit grant, a program or service must meet an identified community need and at least one of the following community benefit objectives:

Improve access to health services
Enhance public health
Advance general knowledge
Relieve the burden of government to improve health

Consideration will not be given to grants which solely support funding of:

Construction and/or renovation
Land or property acquisition
Sports teams
Projects or programs completed prior to the end of the grant cycle in which the grant was applied for
Indirect operating expenses
Endowments
Events
Capital campaigns

Additional Information

Organizations may be awarded in two of three grant cycles if they are for different programs. $10,000 request limit per grant application.

Applicants may be required to demonstrate other funding sources to support the program, in addition to the support provided by Reid.

Awardees of community benefit grants will be required to submit an annual report for the twelve-month period following the receipt of their grant award. Failure of the organization to complete or submit reports may result in denial of future grant applications.

One application per organization/EIN number will be considered each cycle.

Applications will only be accepted from organizations who serve Reid Health's eight county service area: Fayette, Franklin, Henry, Randolph, Wayne and Union in Indiana and Darke and Preble in Ohio.

It is recommended that no more than 50% of your request be for staff or personnel. If your request exceeds this amount we will require additional information on your application.

Organizations that score below 75% on the review process will not be considered for funding due to inability to effectively impact the health indicators.

The Community Benefit Well-Being Committee will prioritize requests that support programs less likely to occur without Community Benefit resources.

Grant requests must be submitted via the Online Application Form. The Community Benefit Well-Being Committee will make the final decision. All applicants will be notified of their decision by mail.
