The Board and Staff of the Healthy Lakewood Foundation are excited to announce that the online application for its Community Grants funding opportunity is open. HLF is now expanding its grant funding beyond Covid-related needs which has been its focus since the start of the pandemic.

Community Grants support projects and programs that prioritize the care and support of certain populations in the Lakewood community and address specific social determinants of health. More information on the funding opportunity and grant guidelines are available here. 

Applications will be accepted through May 8th. Those interested in applying are welcome to email Kate Ingersoll to schedule an application information session in which you can discuss the grant criteria and process.

Funding decisions will be announced in mid-July. 

We look forward to your questions and applications for funding!

About the Healthy Lakewood Foundation

The Healthy Lakewood Foundation (HLF) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit public charity. HLF was created to ensure remaining assets from the conversion of the Lakewood Hospital will continue to benefit the health and wellness of residents in the City of Lakewood. HLF was established in September 2018 as part of the master agreement following the closing of Lakewood Hospital. HLF was formed from the Foundation Planning Task Force and through its recommendation to the City of Lakewood and the Lakewood Hospital Association.
